Hi All,

Greetings for the day !!!

Today new tip – This is related to format for displaying value for of column type “Person or Group” in Power App form

Details

  • We have a SharePoint list having column “Reviewer” of type “Person or Group” as shown in below fig

  • We have published form to SharePoint
  • As we tried to add new item it showing user in claim format and in searching also it showing in user claim format as shown in below fig
fig : SharePoint online - adding new item - showing user claim under Reviewer field rather user display name

  • Actually we are expecting user should be in “Display Name” format
  • Reason behind this is the value of properties of respective field – “DisplayFields” / “SearchFields” as value “[“Claims”]” as shown in below fig
  • We need to change the value of “DisplayFields” property to “[“DisplayName”,”Email”,”Picture”]
  • Also we need to change the value of “SearchFields” property to “[“DisplayName”]
