I am aware of the short comings with attachments and downloading them, but I am hoping for a work around. I have an edit form that allows users to add or remove attachments and when they click the attachment it tries to download and fails. Is there anyway that when they click the attachment it sends them to a page to view the attachment in an internal viewer.

    With the attachment control, it is not possible.

    A possible workaround is:

    Switch the Attachment control with a Gallery in the form control (This is currently not supported, but you could be able to add a gallery inside the DataCard by Doing a Copy and paste), switch the Gallery Items property to:

    ThisItem.'{Attachments}'

    And the OnSelect property of the Naviagte button to:

    Launch(ThisItem.AbsoluteUri)

    when Clicking on the Arrow, it will open a webpage with the proper image attachment.

    Reference:

    Please also follow the reminder to configure the other properties as needed.

     

    Regards,
