Posted on by drhibbert

i have a DataCardValue that shows a persons name from our company like this:

Bart Pauwels (email of the person)

i dont want the email vissible only the name.

The default value of the field is set to Parent.Default

the data comes from a Sharepoint List and the Authorizer field is a Person type so you can enter name or email to populate that field.

Is there way to have only the name show in the field without the email appended?

Hi @drhibbert,

Please check the list settings and field value. There are options in list settings for person type you can select Name, Email etc. values. You can change it to Name option and save it.

@drhibbert,

How your data is rendering, If you placed a label and write this formula Lookup(DataSource, ID=1).Authorizer.DisplayName what is the value which is coming?

If its coming only name the below approach will works

Unlock the Datacard in the Form

Set Default Property to ThisItem.Authorizer.DisplayName instead of Parent.Default

If its coming with eMail ID as well, please share the format accordingly.

Hi @drhibbert

Put the card into Unlock mode under advanced

Then change it to be either Parent.DisplayName essentially

or ThisItem.DisplayName

or whatever Given Name / Surname

Just pick it after unlocking it. You still need to use the data from the Parent (the card itself), but you simply are changing what part of the Parent data you are showing.
