HI Everybody,

look for a litlle bit of help.

I have a SP List with an 'Attachment' column and some pdf or jpeg stacked there.

I want to use the function Download() to.. obviously download these once for all.

I tried this :

ForAll(coll_Temp;Download(First(ThisRecord).'Attachements')))

It didn't work.

First of all, is Download() supported by ForAll()?

and if not, what is the better way to reach my purpose?

Thank you for your time 🙂

I would suggest trying workarounds although they would likely require trial-and-error to see if they work or not.

For example, try saving all values to a new collection (say, colAttachments) then use the ForAll function on the new data collection.

Re: Using the function Download() in sequence

If i try without "thisrecord", the completion doesn't show me the fields 'attachments' neither other fields from the table. And if I force it, it's still not working.

Does the code work if you remove "ThisRecord."?

Sorry, I'm limited in how much I can help remotely.

Re: Using the function Download() in sequence

Thanks for the info. What happens if you swap "ThisItem" with "ThisRecord"?

Hi, thanks for replying 🙂

I use this code with a button at the end of rows of gallery :

Download(First(ThisItem.'Attachments').AbsoluteUri

It does the job one by one but when i tried the previous one with the ForAll() i've got this error :
The specified column isn't reachable in this context

Re: Using the function Download() in sequence

Hi @IcemanY15,

I would expect the ForAll / Download combination to work OK. Did the code give errors or just do nothing?

Also, are attachments downloaded OK if you try Download without using ForAll? For example, code similar to the following:

Download(<Attachment #1 URL>); Download(<Attachment #2 URL>); Download(<Attachment #3 URL>);
