Populate user name as Defaultselecteditems value for Combobox - Expected table values

[F_Quint]

I have a Sharepoint list field that is set to 'People or Group' and I'd like to auto-populate the comboBox in my Power App with the DisplayName of the current user. 

I have a variable _myProfile that creates a record for each user but it cannot set the defaultselectedItems value for my Combobox, is there another way to accomplish this?

If this is a ComboBox, then you will want to set the DefaultSelectedItems property not the Default.

In your DefaultSelectedItems, place the following formula (assuming that your _myProfile has an email address as well):

 With({profile:Office365Users.MyProfile()},

    {Claims: "i:0#.f|membership|" & profile.Mail, 
     Department: profile.Department, 
     DisplayName: profile.DisplayName,
     Email: profile.Mail,
     JobTitle: profile.JobTitle,
     Picture: "."
    }
)

Make sure you have AllowSearching on.

I hope this is helpful for you.

I would recommend you follow the advice of @RandyHayes.  But I would also like to point out that you have placed your code inside the Default property and not the DefaultSelectedItems property as mentioned within your title.
