People picker field is not set correctly when "Set field value" in rule is used

[chgrnet]

I have a rule set (using Set field value) to load {currentUser} into a people picker field. When the rule is triggered, it does add the name, but then it add the first name again for some reason.

I have just upgraded my site to SP 2013, previously when I used this on 2010 it worked as expected.

Also, I am using your latest version of code (June 2017).

Hi,
The problem is the comma in the name. Use this in the “Value” field to set the login name instead:

{currentUser:Name}
