Document Repository - Uploading a document to a file line

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

Hi, 

I was developing a document repository for my department and ran into an issue with the columns. My department would like the library to have a column where you can upload additional documents to the file.

 

For example, if you received a document that needs to be signed, instead of uploading the signed document again, you would add the signed document to the document that was previously filed in the repository. 

 

How can another column allow people to upload another file to the file line, as in the photo attached?

    I don't see a photo attached.  Maybe it's just me?

    Based on some research I did, and if I understand your need, I don't think it is possible to do this as you described as other columns in the document library cannot be a document type.

     

    Therefore, I believe this is more of a SharePoint question if you want these documents grouped together.

     

    The only other option would be to add a column that contains an ID that would tell the PowerApp and/or those accessing the document library directly that certain documents belong together if they share the same ID.  This is fairly simple to do.

     

    On the other hand, not knowing a huge amount about SharePoint, I found the following article and maybe this will be something you can research and use.  I've never used a "Document Set" and I'm not sure how you interface with it from a PowerApp/Automate, but here  it is for your reading pleasure.
