Question

I have been trying to turn request forms into InfoPath Forms. However, I am having some issues with the person/group pickers. If I use the default Person picker (the ones that show up when you make a new list on SharePoint) everything works just fine. I can add people, and the website will find them, and often autofill all their information for me.

But when I try to add one of those fields to the InfoPath files they don't allow for any form of lookup, and I'm not sure the information that these fields will hold will work with Microsoft Flow.

How can I get my InfoPath person fields to act like a person field in a list?

To further explain why I can't just use the default lists, here is a screenshot of one of the lists that I am trying to format correctly: enter image description here

EDIT: For further clarity, here is the SharePoint Person field: enter image description here And here is the InfoPath field: enter image description here

Note the two new buttons that I don't really want, and the fact that my name did not pop up at all...

Was it helpful?

Solution

If you created the list as a normal SharePoint list, and then customized it with InfoPath. The resulting person field will work fine with Flow. If you have a field named "traveler", in Flow you will have access to several fields, including traveler email, traveler display name, traveler manager, etc.
