Hi,
I duplicate an item from a Sharepoint list with PowerApps. All data has been duplicated except attachments.

the command:

If(IsBlank(Patch(

'Demande Capex'; Defaults('Demande Capex');

Form4.Updates)))

Hi @Abdou1 ,

You can use Power Automate on the OnSuccess of the new record form - send the old and new IDs and get the attachments from the original one and attached them to the new record.

Please click Accept as solution if my post helped you solve your issue. This will help others find it more readily. It also closes the item. If the content was useful in other ways, please consider giving it Thumbs Up.

@Abdou1 ,

What exactly are you doing here ?

If( IsBlank( Patch( 'Demande Capex'; Defaults('Demande Capex'); Form4.Updates ) ) )

Your IsBlank has no resulting action.

Hi @WarrenBelz
Form4 is an edit form. Instead of the item being modified, I duplicate it. I deleted Isblank, still the same result

@Abdou1 .

Now that is sorted (IsBlank had no purpose), you can do this - firstly, I assume you selected the original item from a gallery ? If so, you can get both IDs

Set( gblOldID, YourGalleryName.Selected.ID ); Set( gblNewID, Patch( 'Demande Capex'; Defaults('Demande Capex'); Form4.Updates ).ID )

Now do a Flow and send both IDs - if you are now familiar with Power Automate, this may be difficult for you

@Abdou1 ,

Have you done any Power Automate from Power Apps before ? If not, you might start with this article.
