Hi All,

Cannot get my head around this issue. I have a Powerapps form that opens on a Sharepoint list when adding/editing a list item. One of the fields auto populates the current users name into a field which is working great for new entries.

However, whenever I open a list item to view or edit, it is not preserving the value of what originally entered into that field, instead it overrides it with my name (as the current user). This is what I have in Default (and is also in the DefaultSelectedItems):

Power Query:
{  
'@odata.type': "#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedUser",  
DisplayName:User().FullName,  
Claims:"i:0#.f|membership|" & Lower(User().Email),  
Department:"",  
Email:User().Email,  
JobTitle:"",  
Picture:""  
}

Admittedly my first time dabbling in PowerApps and read a few articles but can't identify a solution for this. Would truly appreciate any guidance please?
