List in Sharepoint - Automatically enter display name

Hi everyone,

 

I am currently making a list in Sharepoint. In the column, I would like to have people write their display name (related to their email). Would it be possible to have this entered automatically as they fill the list?

    vviona You have to customize the list for using Power apps to set default value for column based on currently logged in user.

    What is column/data type of "Display Name" column, single line of text OR people or group?

     

    Check these threads for more information: 

    1. Auto populate person type column with logged in user 
    2. Auto Populate Logged In User Name In PowerApps
