Hi BLACKROSE
you can try to use a ColumentFomratting, to show only the email address in your colument like this:
{
"$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
"elmType": "div",
"txtContent": "=substring(@currentField, lastIndexOf(@currentField, '|') + 1, 1000)"
}Best, Dave

Hi BLACKROSE
that's right, you can't set a default value for people and groups columns:
Try to use a Power Automate Flow for that.
