The Lists.asmx web service enables you to CRUD items on a SharePoint list (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/lists.lists.updatelistitems(v=office.12).aspx)
The default options for the person field however does not work e.g:
- i:0#.w|domain\username
- Display Name
- domain\username
To make it work pass one of the following:
- Single user = [ID];#[Person]
- Multi user = [ID];#[Person];#[ID];#[Person];#[ID];#[Person];#
- -1;#Display Name
