    Hi,

     

    Unfortunately what you are trying to achieve cannot be done out of the box. 

    You could try using a calculated value control to do the look up of the person based on the dropdown or use a classic Nintex form with custom JavaScript.

    Thanks for your reply @SimonMuntz ! Can you please give some more insights on how to use the calculated value control for this purpose?

    The calculated value would have a lookup() runtime function that looks up the person.
    The filter of the lookup function would use the drop down controls value.
