prop("People")

As a Person property can contain more than one person, it will always return a list. This means that formula elements like name can only be accessed by adding in a first function.

prop("People")
    .first()
    .name()
=
Ben Smith "Ben Smith"

Built-in Person Properties

Notion formulas come with two built-in Person properties, meaning that this data can be accessed without having to add additional properties to the database. 

  • Created By: displays the user who created the page.
  • Last Edited By: displays the user who last edited the page.
prop("Created By")
=
🧔🏻‍♂️ Ben Smith 🧔🏻‍♂️ Ben Smith

As these built-in properties can only contain a single person entry, the name and email elements can be accessed on them directly without having to use first as well.

prop("Created By")
    .name()
=
Ben Smith "Ben Smith" 
prop("Last Edited By")
    .email()
=
