ForAll and Patch

[mmattar]

Hello everyone,

i am trying to patch a field that is a people picker with selectMultiple set to true. So for example someone can search for 3 people and have them in the field. Now to patch this i keep getting just 1 name, so i tried the Table:

selectMultiple_field:
Table(
{
Claims: "i:0#.f|membership|" & DataCardValue63.Selected.Email,
Department: "",
DisplayName: DataCardValue112.Selected.DisplayName,
Email: DataCardValue112.Selected.Email,
JobTitle: "",
Picture: ""
}
)

This worked but still only patched one person, so i then decided to try a Forall(table... i can't get this to work. Can you do a forall inside of a patch ? and how can i patch multiple items chosen in the people picker field ?

- I seen a post where the person put multiple "Claims, department..etc", hard coded, but what if i dont know exactly how many the person will choose.

Thank you for reading and helping

Hi mmattar,

Do you want to patch multiple items to one person field?

Please take a try with the following workaround:

I use one ComboBox and one button to solve the issue.

I tested  by SP List as next:

1.DataSource: 20190115test1 (My SP List name)

Person_Multiple:Person Type (Allow multiple selections)

Person_Single:Person Type

2.App Test:

Add one ComboBox and named it ComboBox_Person_Multiple,and its items:

Choices('20190115test1'.Person_Multiple)         (The available items will be show when you search by your ComboBox, then you can select what items you want to patch)

Add one button and named it Button_Patch, and its OnSelect:

Patch(

   '20190115test1',

    Defaults('20190115test1'),

  {Title:"1",

    Person_Multiple:ComboBox_Person_Multiple.SelectedItems

   })

Then select the items by ComboBox and then Click the Button.

Best Regards,
