ADD ATTACHMENT IN GALLERY CONTROL

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by Athirah

Dear Expertise,

I want to save attachments from the gallery (To save attachments from the UI of PowerApps to particular item on SharePoint List). What should be my approach and the code? As you can see below, I have taken the attachment control from the form and pasted on the gallery, not sure how to save data through it. Is it possible to do it? Or is there any generic way to do it? Please suggest.

Here is the code on OnSelect properties for my Submit button.

Can someone provide me guidance/help on this? Please share screenshots as i'm a beginner on PowerApps.

Thank you in advance,

Athirah

Hi @Athirah <

The only two ways of saving attachments are SubmitForm() from a form or via Power Automate. You cannot save them from a re-purposed attachment control in a gallery.

Hi @Athirah :

Do you want to add attachments through Gallery?

If so,this is impossible in theory, but I have a alternative solution.

The main point of this solution is to submit attachments through an invisible form. I've made a test for your reference:

1\My data source:

2\Add an edit form control(Form1)

DataSource

BookLog

Item

Gallery4.Selected /*I'll create Gallery4 later*/

3\Add a gallery control

Items

BookLog

4\Unlock Form1's Attachment data card and copy the Attachment control(DataCardValue3) into Gallery4(DataCardValue3_1)

5\Set DataCardValue3_1

Items

ThisItem.Attachments

OnAddFile

ClearCollect(TheActh,Self.Attachments);SubmitForm(Form1); /*TheActh is my custom variable*/

6\Set DataCardValue3 (which in form1) 's Items property to

TheActh

7\Set Form1‘s Visible property to

false

Best Regards,

Bof

The only way I can think of is deleting all attachments first, via power automate, then using submit form.

Hi Warren. Any ideas how I can achieve this please.

i want the user to be able to browse files which are coming from a SP List, select one and then by using some kind of attachment control, add the selected file to another list. Is this possible?

I want to display attachments in a gallery - the ITEMS would be something along the lines of: FILTER(CRUD2, JobGantt.Selected.ProjectId in ‘Filename with extension’) I would like them filtered so that only relevant files are shown. Then, when one is selected, it appears in second attachment control to be uploaded to another list?

Many thanks.
