How should I create multiple attachments datacards in single powerapp editform screen and send all the attached files to sharepoint list in attachments. I tried to add multiple attachments but they send only one file to sharepoint from first attachment datacard. I need to collect all the files attached in all the attachemnt datacards in sharepoint list. Any way, hack or method would be helpful.

Hi @Anonymous,

Currently you can only upload files up to 10 MB in size.
You can check whether your file exceeds the maximum size allowed to be upload.
Reference:
Attachments control in PowerApps

Hope this can be helpful.

Hi @Anonymous,

Do you add multiple Attachments Data cards within your Edit form?

Do you want the multiple Attachments Data cards value to be submitted to one record of your SP list?

Currently, within PowerApps, we could only add single one Attachments control within the Edit form. In addition, the Upload functionality of Attachments control only work in Edit form.

If you want to add multiple Attachments Data cards within your Edit form, and submit attachment files to your SP list, I afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs in PowerApps currently.

Actually, if you want to upload multiple files to one record of your SP list as attachments, you could add/upload multiple files within the single one Attachments control.

More details about the usage of Attachments control in PowerApps, please check the following blog:

More details about Attachments control, please check the following article:

Best regards,

Kris

Microsoft Advice
So, it should be possible, but you would have to do this in a custom way. Your best bet is to use custom cards and add additional upload controls. What you would need to do, when the form is submitted, is patch these extra files as attachments. You may need to use Power Automate in combination with Power Apps to achieve this.
