I have app that stores test records and part of that allows the user to take images and store them in the record as attachments. (datacard)

It works fine for a new record with no prior attachments , but i cant get it to work in a record edit existing record case

Clicking Take Picture multiple times stores images to the galleryCollection

If(

CountRows(galleryCollection)<10,

Set(

varName,

GUID()

);

Collect(

galleryCollection,

{

DisplayName: varName & ".jpg",

Id: varName & ".jpg",

Value: Camera1.Stream

}

)

the new record is then updated using Update for the datacard

issue - editing an existing record

where have attachments already how can i add the galleryCollection contents as extra images keeping whats there already?

Ai suggested this

ThisItem.Attachments & galleryCollection to merge the old and the new but it wont work as its seems to have issue joining these

Hi @SS-08012233-0

The part you are missing is to do the initial Collection before the user takes the photo (probably better done at Screen OnVisible )

ClearCollect(galleryCollection,DataCardValue35.Attachments)

Assuming that the Items of DataCardValue35 is galleryCollection, it all should work when you submit the form.
