Dropdown update formula error: Expected record value

[mantastg08876]

Hi all, 

I have a dropdown which allows users to select multiple persons from a SharePoint group. Its update function is DataCardValue16.SelectedItems

However, this functions shows an error: Expected record value (A).  I am a bit confused, since on the other canvas app, I am using the same Update function and no error is shown (B). Added the screenshot below. 

Could some please advice how troubleshoot such issue?

1. Can you make sure the Person or group field in SharePoint list accepts multiple values?

2. In the app, combo box, do you see the property Allow Multiple values set to true?

If the above properties looks good, save your Power App, close the app, clear cache, reopen the Power App. 

Please post more details on the field information if the above steps does not resolve the issue.

I noticed that the problem with  DataCardValue16.Selected was that only item is uploaded to the sharepoint list. Solved the issue though. As adviced by @rsaikrishna , the issue was column settings on SharePoint. Didn't allow more than one selection..

Thank you both for the help!
