I am wanting to add attachments to a SharePoint list from my Power App. I have watched a few videos and none of them really fit.

One shows copying the attachment control from a form onto the canvas, but I haven't been able to even get past that part.

Ideally I want to use the add attachment as it suits the uploads I need, sometimes it can be an image, or pdf other times it may come from the camera control.

Re: Adding attachments

Hi guy's

Thanks again for the help. How would I adjust the formula to update the SP item as opposed to creating a new Item?

Hi @nshaw75,

Modify as below:

Patch('Permit Tracker', Defaults('Permit Tracker'),

{

Title: "TESTING PATCH"},

Form3. Updates )

Re: Adding attachments

the form3.Updates needs to be out side of the curly braces, look at the video again and set the braces correctly, then it should work

Re: Adding attachments

Thanks guys @v-qiaqi-msft @mmbr1606

I have followed the advice and the video. The OnSelect function of my button is as follows

Patch('Permit Tracker', Defaults('Permit Tracker'),
(
Title: "TESTING PATCH"
Form3. Updates );

The SP list updates, with the other records in the form, but the Attachments remain empty 😵

Re: Adding attachments

Hi @nshaw75,

I think you just need an Attachment control from a form, and a save button.

Set the OnSelect property of save button as:

Patch ( 'Source Data',Defaults('Source Data') , Form1_1 . Updates )
