Automatically fill a single text column in Lists by the value of a Person Field column
Femke11 If you just want to show the email address in the list view, you can easily do it using JSON formatting like:
{ "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json", "elmType": "div", "txtContent": "[$PersonGroupCol.email]" }Where PersonGroupCol is internal name of person or group field. You can get the internal name of your person or group column by following this article: How to find the Internal name of columns in SharePoint Online?
You can read more information about this approach in my answer given at: Get Email from user and enter into SharePoint list field

Thank you for this additional information! I will try to test it with your suggestion to pass the Person field Email output from trigger outputs directly in update item action. Have to figure out how 🙂
In the meantime, I've tried to prevent an infinite loop with a trigger condition. Will this work? I have set a trigger condition in the trigger (on column 'Status' certain value) and in 'update item' I change the status column to a different value:
Femke11 This will work initially on item creation (or until the status = Get name and email).
Flow will run and the status will be changed to "Done".
Is there a chance users will change the value of person or group column after that? If yes, email and name columns might not be updated in this case as flow will not run again due to trigger condition.
