SharePoint - Person Group Picker - Problem 'JSON' is undefined

Hi,
I have the following problem:
If I click on " Person Group Picker " control in the form by web I get warning:
This problem exist on IE 11. In Chrome in OK.
What is wrong?

Hi stockDevelopers,
Is your
“Person/Group Picker " control a custom InfoPath form control?
For my test, I customize a list form using InfoPath and add a “Person/Group Picker " control. Then I test it in my IE 11, but all work fine.
Is the form having embed code?
Also two settings you can have a try:
1.Open your “Person/Group Picker " control in IE 11, and then press F12, and click Browser Mode, choose IE 10.
2.If your issue persists, press ALT, and then click Tools in the Menu bar, click Compatibility View Settings, turn OFF compatibility mode for intranet sites.
A thread you can have a look:

Default Person Group Picker

Having a problem with Person Group Picker. I add a PGP control to the form and then drag it’s DisplayName and AccountID there also to view/reference.
If I manually enter a name, say John Doe, into the control and check it, the DisplayName shows “John Doe” and the AccountID shows “i:0#.f|membership|[email protected]” like I’d expect.
However what I really want to do is default the control to the current users name. I’ve found posts that explain to set the default value for both DisplayName and AccountID to UserName(). That works,
except that the DisplayName remains set to “i:0#.f|membership|[email protected]”. Does not seem to update it even when form is submitted or saved.
I tried leaving the DisplayName default unset. But then DisplayName just remains blank.
Is there a way to trigger and update of this field?
Background: I’m using InfoPath 2013 published to a SharePoint/Office 365 site.

Hi Jim,
I understand that the error occured when you opened the form in browser.
Error 5566 with InfoPath can be a result of different cases, you can take a look at the thread below for troubleshooting:

Did the web application use claim based authentication?
If yes, please follow the steps in the links below to auto populate User Information in InfoPath with Claims Based Authentication in SharePoint:

Can you set default values for person/group picker fields? To current user?

Two-part question/issue . . .
Part 1:
In InfoPath 2013 in use with SharePoint 2013, how do you set a Default Value for Person/Group Picker fields? Other field types like Text Boxes have a Default Value section in the Data tab of Properties. There doesn't appear to be any equivalent for
the Person/Group Picker field type in Properties. I'd like to set a default person for a few fields in a form I've created. Is this possible?
Part 2:
The default user I want to set for one of those Person/Group fields is the "current user." I want a user to log into our SharePoint 2013 intranet, load a new form for edit/creation, and have one of the Person/Group fields in that form to
automatically populate this particular user. Is this possible?

Hi Stephen,
You can auto populate your InfoPath farm with current user Name and all other property that you have in your User profile, you have couple of options.
First you can make a secondary connection in your InfoPath form with user profile and can use the UserProfileService.asmx and call the GetUserProfileByName method. Here is the steps you can follow.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/anneste/archive/2011/11/02/how-to-create-an-infopath-form-to-auto-populate-data-in-sharepoint-2010.aspx
Secondly you can use JQuery and SPServices ,
$().SPServices.SPGetCurrentUser function to populate the values with script to achieve the same in this case you no need to use InfoPath form just create simple text type column in SharePoint
list and auto populate it with getting the current user Name from User Profile here is the scripts
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="../../jQuery%20Libraries/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="../../jQuery%20Libraries/jquery.SPServices-0.5.4.min.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var userCurrentName = $().SPServices.SPGetCurrentUser({
fieldName: "CurrentUser"
$("input[Title='CurrentUser']").val(userCurrentName);
var userPhone = $().SPServices.SPGetCurrentUser({
fieldName: "WorkPhone"
$("input[Title='Phone']").val(userPhone);
</script>

InfoPath 2010 - Person/Group Picker Properties - Relative Path?

Hello,
How, if it is possible, do you specify a relative path in the Person/Group Picker Properties?
This is for InfoPath 2010.
Thanks,
John

Hi John,
Do you mean that specify a SharePoint site to query for people and groups?
If so , you can take steps as below:
Add a Person/Group Picker control in your InfoPath form.
Right click the control and select Person/Group Picker Properties.
Click SharePoint Server tag, you can input the SharePoint site URL for specifying a SharePoint site to query for people and groups.

Missing the Person/Group Picker control

I am using SharePoint 2013 with InfoPath 2010. I have a SharePoint list that is set as a Data Connection in an InfoPath form (it is being used as a Document Information Panel for a Word document but that really shouldn't matter). That SharePoint list
includes three different People Picker custom Site Columns.
BUT when I try to add those People Picker columns to my InfoPath form the "Person/Group Picker" option is nowhere to be found. Instead, I only get the options to add the field as a Section or Section with Controls. It doesn't appear
in the Ribbon either.
If I open InfoPath directly and create a new form using the same SharePoint List, the three People Picker fields appear as Person/Group fields in my form.
Can someone please tell me what is going on and how I can fix this? Thanks. Carol.

Hi Carol,
By my test, the created document information panel has no "Person/Group Picker" control, no matter I create it on document information panel settings of library content type or on infopath new document information panel template.
It is by design that we can not add Person/Group Control on Document Information Panel manually. And as far as I know, there is no workaround to get over it.

Eric

Sharepoint Designer always crashes when using the Sharepoint people/group picker in a Workflow

SharePoint designer 2013 (sp1) crashes consistently when doing the following:
Create workflow
Create email action
In the email To field select People/Groups from SharePoint site
SharePoint Designer crashed and says "Microsoft SharePoint Designer has stopped working"
This issue has been reported before in SharePoint 2010 on TechNet as a bug in the software, but with no proper resolution. I am very surprised that it is still an issue in 2013 version (sp1 which was released Feb 2014) and Microsoft have not tried
to address this.
I have read elsewhere that the fix for this is to only have a single IIS binding for the site being used (ie not have additional alternate access mappings). However this is not possible for us as we need the additional alternate access mappings.
Any help/suggestions gratefully received.
Thanks
Bill W

One way is as you mentioned try the below link
http://xblogs.kompas-xnet.si/post/SharePoint-Designer-2013-Crashing-when-using-select-peoplegroups-from-SharePoint-site.aspx
Instead of setting people picker's Return field as "As String" could you please try setting the return field as Email Address

~Harish

Hi Harish,
I have same problem and I just find solution for this error.
You must set body/data to null value --> It's work for me !!! :)
See my code with RequestExecutor (I develop an SharePoint App)
// Set the new role assignment for the group on the list.
        this.setNewRoleForGroup = function (listTitle, newRoleDefId, groupId) {
            var deferred = $.Deferred();
            //First we must call the EnsureSetup method
            JSRequest.EnsureSetup();
            var hostweburl = decodeURIComponent(JSRequest.QueryString["SPHostUrl"]);
            var appweburl = decodeURIComponent(JSRequest.QueryString["SPAppWebUrl"]);
            //Tip to have a title formated to REST call
            var arrayTitle = decodeURIComponent(listTitle).split("'");
            var restQueryUrl = appweburl + "/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web/lists/GetByTitle('" + arrayTitle.join("''") + "')/roleassignments/addroleassignment(principalid=" + groupId + ",roledefid=" + newRoleDefId + ")?@target='" + hostweburl + "'";
            var executor = new SP.RequestExecutor(appweburl);
            executor.executeAsync({
                url: restQueryUrl,
                body: null,
                method: "POST",
                headers: {
                    "Content-Type": "application/json;odata=verbose",
                    "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose",
                    "X-HTTP-Method": "POST"
                success: function (data, textStatus, xhr) {
                    deferred.resolve({ updated: true });
                error: function (xhr, textStatus, errorThrown) {
                    deferred.reject(JSON.parse(xhr.body).error.message.value);
            return deferred;

Cloud business app - using sharepoint persons

hi,
we have a cloud business app using a sharepoint list as a data source, the list has a sharepoint person or group type column,
when you bring that list into LS app, it brings in the UserInformation list as well.
if you build screens for browsing the entity, you can surface the person.name property, by creating a computed field - however you cannot search for the person by name, a computed field does not appear to have the IsSearchable property.
is there anyway to include the related data in the search ?
MrP

I haven't encountered this situation (yet) so if the obvious things don't work I would make a
WCF RIA Service that would hydrate the name of the person in the person object and return that name as a simple string in a field in the entity.
I could then put that collection on a Browse screen and the end-user could search for the person by name.
Again, I would only do this after exhausting all other alternatives because I imagine there would be a performance hit to call into SharePoint to get the name on each row (which may be why LightSwitch doesn't do it)

How to use people/group picker to send emails

Hello all,
Forgive me on my lack of understanding this subject. I've read multiple articles and it is driving me crazy! All I need to do is have a user select someone from "people/group picker", click a button and the person selected gets an email. That is
it!
I need a simple set of instructions. Help!

Hello,
You need several things:
a view that contains the form and text for the email body (Email view)
a data connection to "Submit to Email"
a data connection to GetUserProfileByName
Re 1: create a view with the field controls and the text that you want to email. Alternatively, if the email is all static text, you can enter it in the email body in step 2.
Re 2: create a data connection to submit to email: on the Data ribbon click the
To Email button and follow the prompts. You can go back later to modify the data connection, change the fields and configure them to receive data from your form. Set the "To" field to receive its value from a field in the form (emailHelper)
Re 3: When the button is clicked, you need to get the user's email address from the UserProfile service. The steps are explained in this page http://sharepointisland.wordpress.com/tag/getuserprofilebyname/ and
consist of setting up a data connection to the User Profile Service "_vti_bin/UserProfileService.asmx?WSDL"
on the site, feeding the user AccountID into the query field, querying the service. After that the data connection contains the user's data and you can filter it with the "WorkEmail" parameter.
This is the value that you need to put into the "To" field of the "Submit to Email" data connection. You may want to store the field in the emailHelper field and then point the "To" field to emailHelper.
The button to send the email is on the Users view and should contain these actions
set a fields value - User Account ID to the GetUserProfileByName query field
query a data connection - the GetUserProfileByName connection
Set a field's value - the emailHelper field to the GetUserProfileByName field filtered by Name = WorkEmail
Switch to the Email View
Submit to Email data connection
Switch back to Users view

How do you get Personal Groups into iphone 5s?

I have a few personal groups on my outlook account that i use quite often. Is there a way i can import the personal groups i have from my outlook account to my iphone 5s? That way when i sent an e-mail, I can just send it to groups instead of typing them individually?
If not, is there a work around or suggestions??
Thanks.

When you ask a question, please include the version of Mac OS X on your computer. iOS is not a Mac operating system.
Assuming you are running OS 10.9.1:
Open Contacts. Click File in the menu bar and select New Group. Enter the name of the group in Contacts on the left.
Go back to All Contacts (on the left) then drag and drop the names you want in that group on to the folder you just named.
Repeat as necessary for other groups.
Note that the names remain, as they should, in All Contacts, even after you have added them to a group.. You can delete a group if you want. The names will still remain in All Contacts.

Hi,
Did this issue only occur with the Ryanair website or other websites( Such as Microsoft websites)?
If this issue only occur with Ryanair website, this issue might be caused by the website script error, please see the below image ( I could reproduce your issue with this URL):
We might be able to query the data with this site.

Copy the code in to VBE and set the website URL.

Sync Project Online Security Group to SharePoint Security Groups

Hi,
Is there any way to sync prject server security group(Custom) into SharePoint Security Groups.
My scenario is: I created a document library, I want to apply project server security on it, based on project server security groups, for that currently I created a custom group in sharepoint and manualy added the users into that group. That doesn't looks
good, because if my project online group will change, than manually I have to change sharepoint group too. So what I want is, that sharepoint group is automatically synced with project online group.
Or is there any other way to assign project online security in document library?
Thanks
PSN

No there is no workaround other then creating a group on Office 365 server.
SharePoint Online lets you create security groups via the Admin Overview page

Change the person to pick a order in stor

Hi, i have an order orden waiting in a store to ne picked up, the person who i expect to pick is out of the city.
Can i change the person to pick my order?
How can i procede to do that? My order is abou to be cancelled....

Hi SMRM,
As long as you provided a Friends & Family pickup option at the time of checkout, then it should be possible to update the person listed -- this option cannot be added anytime after the order has been placed. I'd be glad to see what can be done to assist you, so please make sure to check your private messages when you can.
