Posted on by BollGary

I am creating one function is to collect all the attachments' names. I found it can work well if use the below formula, the Label control can display all the attachments' names.

But if I used the ForAll function to collect all the names at one time, the result is error.

Hi @BollGary,

Do you want to collect all the attachments names?

Do you want to pull the SP List attachments into a collection using the ClearCollect function?

I have made a test on my side, if you want to pull the SP List attachments into a collection using the ClearCollect function, I afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs within PowerApps currently.

Currently, we could only access the SP List item attachments within the Attachments control of a Edit form. More details about the Attachments control within PowerApps, please check the following article:

Attachments control

As a workaround, you could try to add a Gallery and populate it with your SortByColumns() formula so that you could create a collection by all the items from the Gallery, where stores the attachments display name.

Thanks a lot for your answering, yes, I would like to collect all the attachments' names and then search the data source by the attachment's name by using operator "in", so I use "Concat" to combine all the attachments' name together per record. but as your mentioned, I really found the attachment column is very special, it's ok to use "LookUp" directly search the data source and can get the correct result but use "ForAll" can't realize this idea. It seems "ForAll" can't get the attachment column.
If using the gallery to collect, I think it can't list all the records if records are over 2000. Wish Microsoft can provide more support for attachment column.
