Hi,

Replace the below query in your formula,

'Owner Name':{Claims:"i:0#.f|membership|devendra.singh@test.com", Department:"", Email:"devendra.singh@test.com", DisplayName:"Devendra Singh", JobTitle:"", Picture:""}

Change the email address and display name with your data.

Hi @Gayathri_TU ,

Is Owner Name the person value?

Does this column allow multiple value?

Please notice the structure of person field.

1)single person field:

{'@odata.type':"#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedUser",
        Claims:"i:0#.f|membership|emailaddress",
    Department:"",
   DisplayName:"fullname",
         Email:"emailaddress",
      JobTitle:"",
       Picture:""
   }

2)multiple person field:

Table({'@odata.type':"#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedUser",
        Claims:"i:0#.f|membership|emailaddress",
    Department:"",
   DisplayName:"fullname",
         Email:"emailaddress",
      JobTitle:"",
       Picture:""
   }
)

So to update person field, you also need to know that person's email address.

1)single person field:

ForAll(Subaction,
       If(!IsBlank(Title),
       Patch(....,
             ...,
            {..........,
              'Owner Name':
              {'@odata.type':"#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedUser",
                Claims:"i:0#.f|membership|emailaddress",
               Department:"",
               DisplayName:name,
                Email:"emailaddress",
                 JobTitle:"",
                 Picture:""
               }
              }
         )
)
   }

//please replace emailaddress with that user's email

2)multiple person field:

ForAll(Subaction,
       If(!IsBlank(Title),
       Patch(....,
             ...,
            {..........,
              'Owner Name':
              Table(
                  {'@odata.type':"#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedUser",
                Claims:"i:0#.f|membership|emailaddress",
               Department:"",
               DisplayName:name,
                Email:"emailaddress",
                 JobTitle:"",
                 Picture:""
               })
              }
         )
)
   }

Hi @Gayathri_TU ,

I'm doing something similar and curious what you set for the DefaultSelectedItems or Default of the person field in the form so that the name remains in the previous row when you add a row?

I'm having a similar issue, but your examples are manually entering the user (email), I a using a combo box for the person to select a user and then Patch and do the ForAll.  If I add a different user into the next repeating table, when I Patch and do the ForAll, the first user is not saved, it saves the 2nd one that was added.
