    Hi MuhammadRohaan,

    We cannot achieve it directly. You may try the following steps as a workaround.

    1. Add a “People Picker” to the Form.
    2. Add a “Text Box” control to the Form, and set its properties as following:
      1. Default Value: AccountId. (you specify the default value to the People picker field)
      2. Refresh value when formula is recalculated: checked.
      3. Display: Read-only. (Make it read-only, so that the user cannot change its value by UI)
    3. Add Rule to the “Text Box” control. When “This field changes”, do “set a field’s value”, or submit data.

    If it does not work or you need further assistance, I would suggest you post in our SharePoint 2013 InfoPath forum on TechNet which is a specific support channel for InfoPath related questions.

    Thanks for your understanding.

    Regards,

    Ran
