PowerApps Canvas, Attachments saving on multiple records

Report

Posted on by Quazimodo11

Within a gallery object, I have various checkboxes that when selected populate into a collection. I have successfully connected that collection to my primary database and have a patch method that can save dates and text. My problem is I cannot get the attachments control to duplicate/save the items to the many database records identified by the collection. Any prospective solutions?

ForAll(
 collection,
 Patch(
 datasource,
 First(Filter(datasource, collection_col_name = 'RecordID')),
 {
 column1: DataCardValue2_5.SelectedDate
 // Attachments: DataCardValue23.Attachments
 }
 )
)

Hi @Quazimodo11 ,

It's a bit more tricky to patch Attachments, but this post gives an easy workaround: Solved: Saving attachments using Patch - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)

Hey @BCBuizer,

Thanks for the response. Do you know if you can iterate through the form.update method, perhaps with a ForAll function? I briefly tried it earlier, but it seemed to only update the parent record.

Hi @Quazimodo11 ,

So it's currently only updating one item? I thought that would be an issue when I read the formula...

For that please try changing this line of the formula:

First(Filter(datasource, collection_col_name = ThisRecord.'RecordID'))
