Need help with Attachment datacard in a Gallery

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 13

Hello- first time posting long time lurker. 

Im running into an issue with app that im building. A year or so ago I built an app that shows Sharepoint list data in a gallery and I was showing the attachment in question from the attachment data card from a form. When i clicked on the attachment it would download or open the file. Now in 2024 i was asked to build a similar app for another customer so i was doing the same exact thing but this time when i click on the attachment a new empty tab opens instead of the document. If i go to the form itself then it works as expected. what I noticed was that in the 2023 app i see these options under the Advanced option for the Attachments datacard.  I have an option for "Name" and "Value" which i have set accordingly.

but in my new app those settings are no longer there and i cant figure out how to make the attachment open like it does in the other app. Am i missing a hidden setting or did Microsoft change the behavior of the attachments Datacard? Where can I add the values for "Name" and "Value" for this datacard?  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi , @bwhite23 

    As searched , you need to close the "Power Fx formula bar" options  in the setting of the App and then restart your app again.

    Then you can see the "Name" and "Value" property.

    Thank you so Much. This did resolve my issue. Now in saying that. How would you update the "value" setting with the "Power FX bar" option turned on? or is this some sort of bug that i would assume be fixed in the future?

    Hi, @bwhite23 

    I'm sorry, but this is the solution I searched for, and I can't define if it's a bug at the moment. If you want to determine if this is a bug, you can open a support ticket to ask and confirm:
