Posted on by JM-13120031-0

Hello I try to automate my form, and want to have a pdf file automatically inserted into the form - attachment card.

I generate the pdf with Set(pdfBlob; PDF(FROMFORM; {ExpandContainers: true}))

and add it to the attachment card with

After trying to submit the Form the issues occures field "id" is required

How can I set the field id in this case?

Just for information if I manually upload a file by adding a attachment the submitform success so I guess I have to set some value to the automatically added file ?

Hi @JM-13120031-0

The issue is that the output of the PDF function is incompatible with that expected by an Attachment control and there is no way of converting this is Power Apps. You need a Flow like this

and the run code sending the ID of the target record (where indicated)
With( { _File: PDF( FROMFORM; {ExpandContainers: true} ) }; YourFlowName.Run( YourIDHere; { file: { contentBytes: _File; name: "Test.pdf" } } ) )
