Dropdown of user names (from different list) display user() as first option

[ShaneITAutomate]

Hi,

I have an app where the users select there name from a dropdown, they can also select other users (in this case visitors or guests).

I get all the names from a online sharepoint list called EmployeeNamesList using the following code on start function

If(
    Connection.Connected,
    ClearCollect(
        colNames,
        {Name: ""}
    );
    Collect(
        colNames,
        ShowColumns(
            EmployeeNamesList,
            "Name",
            "EmploymentStatusType"
        )    
    )
)
;

I then use the following code on a dropdown

SortByColumns(Distinct(colNames, Name),"Result")

However i would like the users to have their own name displayed as default whilst also having all the other names below if they need to sign someone onto the system that doesnt have an account.

Is it possible?

In the Default of the Dropdown:

LookUp(colNames,Name = User().FullName,Name)

Combobox

On the DefaultSelectedItems  Change formula to:

{Value:LookUp(colNames,Name = User().FullName,Name)}

Hi @ShaneITAutomate :

Please set the combobox's DefaultSelectedItems property to:

{Result:User().FullName}
