Model Driven App - Image column does not copy

Posted on 20 Nov 2024 14:40:42 by 79
I built a copy command in a Model Driven app.  The command successfully copies all the fields in the original record to the new record, except for the image field.  Does anyone know if there is something special I need to do to copy an image?

    Is there a way to trigger a power automate flow in a model driven command?

    Model Driven App - Image column does not copy
    In Model-Driven Apps using Dataverse, copying an image field from one record to another can be a bit tricky because image fields (primary image or additional image columns) are handled differently than standard fields.
     
    Image fields in Dataverse store binary data. They are not directly accessible like text or numeric fields in some operations. You need to explicitly retrieve the image data and set it for the new record.
     
    Power Automate can be used to handle image copying as part of the "copy record" logic.
     
    let me know if you need steps in power automate.
