SharePoint new list form People picker only display email
When using the people field for an email entry I don't think that this form is very user friendly. I don't want to use a free text field because the user might type in the wrong email address so I'm using a people picker to force them to select an email address, however, my field is titled email and then the people picker displays names and job title.
Is there a way to force it to show the email addresses?

Not necessarily out of the box, but in about 15 minutes, you could use JSON in a text field SharePoint Calculated Column to Extract Email from Person Field [using JSON] - Enjoy SharePoint.
I have started a library of these JSON scripts that I go back to all the time - so in the future, it will take you 2 minutes to do something like this.
Hope that helps!

Thanks, but it's the Form that you access at the top of the list that I'm trying to edit rather than the list.
