How to upload more than one image to a Sharepoint item

Hello everyone

 

I'm facing the problem that I'd like to enable the user to upload images to a sharepoint list, but he can either upload them via Attachments, he will then not see the images without clicking each file, or I can add an image and it is restricted to one item. I don't want to add n-amount of fields of type image, this should be "infinite".

 

I've tried with JSON-formatting of the field, but the attachments field does not allow this.

 

Thanks for any advice

 

I'm a novice to power apps, so any screenshots would be highly appreciated

    Re: How to upload more than one image to a Sharepoint item

    One option would be to create an entirely new SharePoint list to store these images with a lookup to the original list. Your new list would have one image column and one lookup column. Anytime a user uploads a new image, patch the image to this new list with a lookup to the item in the original SharePoint list.

     

    This behaviour replicates a 1:N (one to many) relationship you would see in other database structures and saves you having potentially infinite image columns.

     

    If you want to display these images in your app you can introduce a gallery with a filter to filter the image list by whatever lookup item you choose.

     

    Let me know if you have any questions. I can build a quick proof of concept for you if needed.
