Displaying "Person or Groups" columns from SPO

I am trying to create a PowerApp that has a field that, among other olumns, should show a user from SharePoint Online.

 

Most columns from the connected SP list are shown in PowerApps, but all "Person or Groups" columns are not there. I have tried to change the the columns from "Name (with presence)" to "Name", "User name" etc. but to no avail.

 

I assume that I am doing something wrong, but what?

    Hi JakobRohde,

     

    Have you tried using the Data table control and Forms? Or are you using other controls?

     

    I just tried a Form and found that my user fields do appear as drop downs.

      HI JakobRohde

       

      I might just have reproduced your problem.

      In the Value1 below DisplayName was selected. I chnaged it to Email and then changed it back to DisplayName and now the user name is displayed correctly in my form.
