Default selected item dropdown not saving in SharePoint list

[rakeshdsouza]

Hello

I have created a SharePoint list, where one of the columns is the manager's name and is a person or group type and required.

the problem is using this in DefaultSelectedItems of the DataCardValue

Office365Users.Manager(User().Email)

Office365Users.Manager(User().Email).DisplayName //this one gives error

Also tried this

If(
EditForm2.Mode = FormMode.New, 
{
Value: Office365Users.Manager(User().Email).DisplayName
},
Parent.Default
)

it shows me the name in the dropdown list as already selected but when the user fills the form and submits it, the column is empty it has not saved the managers details... (this is done to avoid the user manually selecting his manager).

Using the same way when we manually select the manager from the search and submit it works...
Please let me know what could be the possible solution, thanks in advance.

Can you please provide the Items property formula for your control?

You're trying to cross SharePoint user records with Office365 User records - they are not the same.

Knowing your Items property would be helpful in providing a solution.

Hi, *bump* ... I have the exact same issue.

@rakeshdsouza 

Did you manage to get "defaultselecteditems" to populate into Sharepoint list with current user in Power Apps?
