PeoplePicker.SelectedPeople JSON parsing error

[Havgo]

When a PeoplePicker component is blank (on app start, or after clearing selection), any reference to it (PeoplePicker.SelectedPeople) returns an error "JSON Parsing Error, Expected 'Array' But Got 'Undefined'"

Unlike selecting an empty collection, which would Display "We didn't find any data", Selecting PeoplePicker.SelectedPeople displays "Error".

For reference:

Suggestions_Items:
TBcolMeetingPeopletemp

OnSearch:
ClearCollect(
TBcolMeetingPeopletemp,
Search(
Filter(colHRdata_EmployeeRegistry,!IsBlank(WorkEmail)),Self.SearchText,"FullName")
)

Gallery with Items:
PeoplePicker.SelectedPeople

Returns the error in the screenshot

I am facing the same error. Is there a workaround for this issue?

[WinOnMarco]

Same here. Any ideas?

Please try branching to a blank value instead of the PeoplePicker property if there is a blank or error state using following formula in the Items property of the gallery or referring component:
If(!IsBlankOrError(DataCardValue6_1.SelectedPeople),DataCardValue6_1.SelectedPeople, Blank())

@Havgo @WinOnMarco @dineshary please let me know whether the workaround works for you. Thank You.

The workaround suggested worked for me when using the PeoplePicker. Is there any intent to resolve this bug, beyond the workaround?
