Hello everyone,
Is there a way to autopopulate values to a People Picker Field in SharePoint List?

SharePoint does not provide an out-of-the-box option to specify a default value for Person column type. The rationale is that Created By is auto populated with the current user when adding a new item.Â
You can explore scripting, customize InfoPath form, or use a 3rd party add-on to assign a default value to a custom Person column depending on your need and comfort level to setup the SharePoint list.Â

You could auto populate for sure. But what is the exact requirement you are trying to achieve?

I have a SharePoint List that acts as a backend for another list. When a user takes a new form and selects one item, the corresponding values to that item need to autopopulate. For example, the item has 3 fields that are employee names (which is people picker). We tried it, however the record doesn’t get saved.
