Retrieving an attachment from SharePoint using ID from SQL Server

Posted on by bakgou1

Hello Community,

Is there a way in PowerApps to retrieve attachments from the SharePoint document library using a unique ID in SQL Server.

For example, I have a SQL server table with ID and Title Column. Also, I have a SharePoint Document library with ID and Attachment Column. Can I do a lookup function to retrieve the attachment based on ID?

Thanks in advance

Hi @bakgou1

I see no reason why you can't use LookUp to attrieve the attachment based on ID.

I'd suggest that you add a form to your screen and add a card with your attachment field.

You would then set the Item property of your form to:

LookUp(YourSharePointList, SharePointIDField = X)

(where X is your SQL ID value)

Ok. I'll try it. Do you know how to Patch attachment to the SharePoint document library without using edit form in PowerApps?
Thank you!

Hi @bakgou1

You could copy the attachments control from a form, and paste it elsewhere on a screen and use it to retrieve the file that the user attaches.

In general, it would probably be quicker and easier to use a form.

I did paste the attachment outside of the form but how do I Patch it to sharepoint list without using SubmitForm(Form1).
Any clue?
