How can I change the Attachment Display mode to edit when the form mode is set to view?

Posted on by RobHajj98 496

Hello everyone,

 

I hope all is well,

 

What I have:

I have a form with an attachment control that was copied from the control's menu in Power Apps. This means that it's not the original attachment control added when the form was created, but rather the same Datacard that was added.

What I need: I need to change the attachment display mode to edit, even when the form is in view mode. However, my attempts to do so have been unsuccessful.


What is used:

Usually, DisplayMode.Edit would do the work but it is weird why the control is not being affected

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thank you 🙂

    I have the same issue and would appreciate some help. 

    Did you solve your problem? 
    I have a view form which shows all data about submitted forms by users. If there already are attachments submitted I want the user to be able to see the attachments and either edit them, or add new. They should also be able to add new attachments when there is no attachments in the form. Been struggling with this badly. 

    Help. 🙂
