Microsoft. Lists - Possibility to set default Value according to List-View

Question

Hello,

I created a list which holds Data of different customers.

Afterwards I have created a List-View for each customer and displayed this view in the corresponding MS-Teams Channels.

The Question:

Ist there a Option that the default value (customer name), in a new entry, is set according to the view, the user is currently using ?

Example:

User is in View "Customer2"
select "new Entry"
then the Value in the "Customer"- field should be "Customer2"

Based on your post, I understand that the auto fills in the column value with current view name.

Per my test, currently there is no method to achieve this.

Until now, you could only auto fill in the people or group column value with current user through PowerApps. Here are steps:

1.Go to the list -> Integrate -> Power Apps -> Customize forms.

2.Click FormScreen1 on the left Tree view -> Advanced on the right -> OnVisible -> Fill the text box with following code.

UpdateContext({    
    CurrentUser: {    
        '@odata.type': "#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedUser",    
        Claims: "i:0#.f|membership|" & Lower(User().Email),    
        Department: "",    
        DisplayName: User().FullName,    
        Email: User().Email,    
        JobTitle: ".",    
        Picture: "."    
    }    
})

3.Click the people or group column DataCard on the left Tree view -> Advanced on the right -> Unlock to change properties -> Fill the variable with “CurrentUser” in the Default column.

4.Save and publish the form to SharePoint. Then you can see the people or group field has been filled in with the current user when you click "New item" in your list.
