PowerApps - defaulting a user field to the currently logged on user

Sometimes, you want to be able to create a PowerApps form which has User Fields which default to the currently logged on user.

You can do this by adding the code below:

If(Text('SCR Basic Details Form'.Mode)="1",{

DisplayName:User().FullName,

Claims:"i:0#.f|membership|" & Lower(User().Email),

Department:"",

Email:User().Email,

JobTitle:"",

Picture:""

},Parent.Default)

.... to the DefaultSelectedItems property of the User Control on your Form, e.g.,

    2650
    0
