How to use "Patch" within a ForAll loop in PowerApps

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by AlRice01

Hello All:

I have developed a PowerApps form (screenshot) for uploading multiple files to a Document Library. When clicking the Upload button, I would also like to update the "Category" metadata field.

 

I am showing the "OnSelect" statement which successfully uploaded the files, but I cannot figure out how to use "Patch" for the metadata update.

Please help.

    Hello

     

    i would suggest first put your attachemt.files in a collection, and in the forall please check the below formula and adjust it based on your needs

    forall( [data/collection i need to add to old table], updateif(collection/metadata, a condition that uniquely identify the record,{oldcolumn: [data/collection i need to add to old table][@col name in new data])
