Hi all,

 

I have a simple form where I would like the email to display the "People" Column from the list as a display name.

 

However this i:0#.w| appears in front of the User ID. 

Is there a way to remove i:0#.w| and change the user ID to a display name?

 

Thank you!

May I assume that it's a workflow that sends an email where you would like to show the People's column displayname(s)? If so, create a workflow variable and set it to the People column. Press the ... next to the column and select the (proper) Display Name. Back in the Set Variable it should show the select column as "People - Display Name".

Following what @jpmhuls said, here is a screenshot of how I set my workflow variable.
