How do I do property promotion on a Person field in InfoPath to get the correct value displayed in SharePoint table? When I did property promotion on DisplayName field under person, it returned me values that look like:

i:0#.f|membership|john_doe

When I'm looking to see something like

John Doe

I am using sharepoint 2010 with infopath 2010. The promoted field comes up as a Single Line of Text instead of Person

What is your Person field's 'Show Field' setting set to within the SharePoint list? If it's set to Name (With Presence), you'll get the value you're seeing. Set the 'Show Field' setting to just 'Name' to see if that helps.

It doesn't come as Person field, it comes a Single Line of Text field from infopath – m0s Dec 19 '12 at 21:56
