Hi, when creating a collection in powerapp, is it possible to get s specific folder and not the full document library?
i.e. ClearCollect(colDocuments, "Documents/SMR Documents/SMR-0026/)
@Anonymous
A specific folder path cannot be stored as a Collection because it is not a table. It’s a text string. Therefore store it as a SET variable instead.
Set(varDocuments, "Documents/SMR Documents/SMR-0026/“)

@mdevaney thanks for the reply.
using a buttons OnSelect event,
Set(varDocuments, "Documents/SMR Documents/SMR-0026"); ClearCollect(colDocuments, varDocuments)
doesn't return the contents of the folder.
@Anonymous You want to get all of the documents from a folder and store in a collection? Sorry, I misunderstood your question.Use this code:
ClearCollect(colDocuments, Filter(LibraryName,'Folder path' = "Documents/SMR Documents/SMR-0026/"))
