@vincenzosguera 

What code are you using in the Update property for the ComboBox?  Typically, it should be:

ComboBox1.Selected

If that doesn't work you can try this inside the Update property too.

{
    '@odata.type':"#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedUser",
    Claims:"i:0#.f|membership|"&ComboBox1.Selected.Email,
    Department:"",
    DisplayName: ComboBox1.Selected.DisplayName,
    Email: ComboBox1.Selected.Email,
    JobTitle:"",
    Picture:""
}

Make sure ComboBox1 is changed in each example to match the control name in your app.  If none of these works, please share a screenshot and the Microsoft365Users code you used.

Hi @vincenzosguera ,

The reason why you could not update person field successfully is that:
the result that Microsoft365Users.SearchUser() returns is not the person field needs.

You need to update  person field with data structure that this kind of data type needs.

1)The data structure that person field needs:

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

2)the result that Microsoft365Users.SearchUser() returns:

fieldnames: Mail, DisplayName,...

Could you tell me whether your person allow multiple value? I assume that no.

So in your app, you should set like this:

1)the combo box's Items:

Microsoft365Users.SearchUser()

2)this datacard's Update:

{'@odata.type':"#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedUser", Claims:"i:0#.f|membership|" & ComboBox1.Selected.Mail, Department:"", DisplayName:ComboBox1.Selected.DisplayName, Email:ComboBox1.Selected.Mail, JobTitle:"", Picture:"" }

3)this combo box's DefaultSelectedItems:

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

Best regards,
