Sharepoint List People field Empty on Edit
crann777 This issue has been identified as a problem in December 2022 CU for SharePoint Server 2019 and is currently being investigated by the SharePoint product group.
There are two kinds of problems: First, if we fill out the people field all seems ok, but if the list or item is saved, a random user is stored in the field and sometimes nothing is stored or other Accountdetails are stored.
We also use many workflows and tasks and at the moment, its not working correct and its a mess.
MS please fix this problem and the incorrect update.
Some feedback on how we deal with the current situation towards the business:Tuesday (after escalation to and investigation together with MS on Monday) we decided to make all site collections readonly, which contains person fields (Powershell script scanning all our 8000 sites).
We assessed the most critical applications to make the site collection accessible again. Many will remain read-only for the coming period till we have a fix.
We have created a MS Forms where site admins can request to make their site active again, but on their responsibility.
We took into account that the fix would take at least 2 or more weeks.I know that MS is busy with the fix, but it takes time.
