Property fields

[bansay]

Hello ;

How is it possible to do:

                 In a Person field => the default value is the user connected

                 In a choice field => take a default value

I test : 

 Person field => Default => User().Email

 Choice Field ["A","B","C"] => default => {Value :"A"}

Thanks for your help ! 🙂

You can set default values for the person and choice fields. This example assumes you are using a form and that the default values should be set when the form is first created.

Person Field:

If(EditForm1.Mode = FormMode.New, {DisplayName: User().FullName, Claims: "i:0#.f|membership|" & User().Email}, Parent.Default)

Choice Field:

If(EditForm1.Mode = FormMode.New, { Value: "YourDefaultValue" }, Parent.Default)

Hi @bansay ,

Do you want to set a Default value within the Person field and Choice field in the Edit form?

Do you generate an app based on your SP List data source?

I assume that you generate an app based on your SP list data source, and want to set a Default value within the Person field and Choice field in the Edit form when the Edit form is in New form? According to the formula you provided, I think there is something wrong with it.

I have made a test on my side, please take a try with the following workaround:

Set the DefaultSelectedItems property of the ComboBox within the Person field data card in the Edit form to following:

If(
    EditForm1.Mode =FormMode.New,
    { 
      Claims: "i:0#.f|membership|" & Lower(User().Email),
      DisplayName: User().FullName,
      Email: User().Email,
      Department:"",
      JobTitle:"", 
      Picture:""
   },
  Parent.Default
)

Set the DefaultSelectedItems property of the ComboBox within the Choice field data card in the Edit form to following:

If(
    EditForm1.Mode = FormMode.New,
    {
        Value: "A"
    },
    Parent.Default
)

Please take a try with above solution, then check if the issue is solved.
