I have a drop-down selected index change event to set value for a people editor control. This works fine for the first time. But the next time I change a value in the drop-down, the people editor wont change if it already holds  a value. I need to clear it and then  change the drop-down value,. This issue occurs after August 2011 CU update and does not happen in other environment where i dont have this update applied.

Can someone officially confirm if this a known issue with August 2011 CU? I see this is being reported both in SP2010 and  MOSS 2007 after their respective August 2011 CU updates. Refer http://blogs.technet.com/b/stefan_gossner/archive/2011/08/31/august-2011-cu-for-sharepoint-2007-and-2010-has-been-released.aspx

Ji,

The People Picker issue is a known issue..
Add code to the OnLoad event when the page has been posted that reads the comma separated accounts value and the people picker values get corrected.

OnLoad event

if (IsPostBack)
{string curAccounts = this.peoplepickercontrol.CommaSeparatedAccounts;}

-Ivan

 

 

 

 

I am also having this issue. The people picker is initially loaded with a user, then when a drop down list item is changed the people picker value is set to another user in code behind. All appears to work when debugging, but once finished, the value hasn't changed and is still set to the initially loaded value.

Are you able to explain in a little more detail how it was solved? Using the onLoad code didn't fix my problem (I tried page.OnLoad and peoplepicker.OnLoad but both run before the selected index changed event). Do you have to set the people picker to be blank before this?

 

- Rebecca

Did you found any solution? I am getting the same problem?

?

No sorry :( the solution I was building ended up changing slightly and this functionality wasn't required anymore, I didn't have any extra time to keep looking into it. I would be very interested if an answer is found though.
