I managed to get the attachment to load to the library with the following.

How do I include the attachment comments to the same attachment item on upload. My attempt kicks back and error.

Hi @Phineas , I am sure you must have used Shane Young video for this feature: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QaiM8SeWfM

So, in order to add a comments, you can do one thing by modifying your flow.
Frist, please get the comments as 3rd input parameter of your Flow of type text as shown below,. I hope you are using PowerApps (v2) trigger.

Then once Create File action in your flow is done, please add below action Update file properties, which will take the Items Id as dynamic field from Create file action.
And then add the comments from the flow trigger. So with this you will add the comments also to your file with flow itself.

I hope this helps.

Hi @Phineas , I see that you havent pass the comments as 3rd parameter in your flow. Please add TextInput1_3.Text as your 3rd input parameter in flow.

And please do not update any other columns in Update File properties. You just need to update the Comments column.

Donot update Client_ID and Document_Name as it is already taken in previous action.

Hi @Phineas , I mean use this

Set(varFileLink, Upload_Client_Drivers_License_Flow.Run(Last(Client_Attachments_Control_2.Attachments).Name, varBase64Only,TextInput1_3.Text).sharepointfilelink);

Considering that TextInput1_3.Text is the control which hold comments.

Same error -

Also, I found the ability to use Power Apps (V2). This option doesn't allow me to select the 'Ask Power Apps' for the file name or file content.

I was trying to capture the error red so you can see where it appears. One view would let me the other wouldn't, so I provided both.

As stated, I found the V2 trigger, but it won't let me make the 'Ask Power Apps' default selections (circled below) the other Power Apps trigger does.

No matter the order, the edited Set(varFileLink...) returns an error.
Set(varFileLink, Upload_Client_Drivers_License_Flow.Run(Last(Client_Attachments_Control_2.Attachments).Name, varBase64Only,TextInput1_3.Text).sharepointfilelink);

Hi @Phineas , 'Ask Power Apps' is applicable for older trigger, with PowerApps (V2), you need to create the parameter as below:
You will get parameter in Dynamic content section.
And then use this in PowerApps:

Set(varFileLink, Upload_Client_Drivers_License_Flow.Run(Last(Client_Attachments_Control_2.Attachments).Name, varBase64Only,TextInput1_3.Text).sharepointfilelink);
