Bug: microsoftTeams.people.selectPeople results returning "UPN" in "email" field

[LeonYasoon]

Using microsoftTeams.people.selectPeople to open the people picker inside MS Teams shows a modal:

Searching for users fires an HTTP request to this endpoint: https://teams.microsoft.com/api/mt/part/emea-03/beta/users/searchV2 returning an array of matching user objects:

The email field of the response is actually the UPN of that user. That is a bug which is critical to our operations. Please investigate :)

@LeonYasoon - Thanks for reporting your issue. We will check and update you soon.

Hello @LeonYasoon - Could you please confirm what should be the correct email id for that particular person?

Microsoft's recommended best practices are to match UPN to primary SMTP address.

Please refer this documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/identity/ad-fs/operations/configuring-alternate-login-id#what-is-alternate-login-id

You can refer this sample as well: https://github.com/OfficeDev/Microsoft-Teams-Samples/blob/main/samples/tab-device-permissions/nodejs/src/components/PeoplePicker.tsx

If you still have any issue, please let us know the below details: 1) Are you testing it in Classic or New Desktop or Web Teams client and please confirm if it is working in any. 2) Specific version of library used to call the microsoftTeams.people.selectPeople.

Thanks!!

Hi @ChetanSharma-msft The correct email for the particular person should be AlexMail@ty3hl.onmicrosoft.com

1. This is not working in New Desktop, Classic Desktop and Web.
2. We first started seeing this bug in Teams JS SDK version 2.0.0 and we are now on 2.16.0 and it is still happening.
