Hi @Poweruser32490,

If you're using:

Choices([@'Worker Processes'].Admin)

the ComboBox simply reflects the behavior of the underlying SharePoint Person or Group column. If that column is configured to allow both People and Groups, Microsoft 365 groups can appear in the search results.

A good first step is to check the SharePoint column settings and ensure it is configured to allow People Only instead of People and Groups. This is the recommended approach and will prevent groups from appearing in Power Apps as well.

If changing the SharePoint column isn't an option, you'll need to use a custom people picker (for example, using the Office 365 Users connector) so you can control and filter the results.

The Choices() function does not provide a supported option to exclude Microsoft 365 Groups from a SharePoint Person column. If filtering by PrincipalType or Claims isn't possible in your environment, the most reliable solution is to replace the default Choices() source with the Office 365 Users connector, which returns only user accounts and provides a better user experience.
