Here is my code. The only error is that it says "The function patch has some invalid arguments". Can anyone tell me why this wont work?

// Clear and collect existing attachments
ClearCollect(
    colAdministratorAttachments,
    First('Firearms Qualifications Administrators').Attachments
);
// Collect the new attachment
Collect(
    colAdministratorAttachments,
    {
        DisplayName: First(cmbNewAdministratorName.SelectedItems).FullName & ".jpg",
        Id: GUID(), // Generate a unique Id for the attachment
        Value: penNewAdministratorSignature.Image,
        AbsoluteUri: "" // This will be handled by SharePoint
    }
);
// Patch the item to SharePoint
Patch(
    'Firearms Qualifications Administrators',
    Defaults('Firearms Qualifications Administrators'),
    {
        Title: First(cmbNewAdministratorName.SelectedItems).FullName,
        Attachments: colAdministratorAttachments
    }
);

Anchov is correct - the attachment field can only be accessed by a Form submission (either SubmitForm or Patch(Form.Updates) or using Power Automate.

I'm sorry, but I have never found a way to patch an attachment without using a form or a Power Automate workflow. This functionality is not supported.
