Posted on by gauravrt 6

Hi

I am building a power app with SharePoint behind it. 

The user enters SharePoint list information on a form in the power app and may add attachments. 

We want those attachments to also be saved separately to a directory folder.

While Appending to Array Variables i get an error saying Invalid Template :

    Hi @gauravrt ,

     

    The logic is to get the attachment of each record in the SP list and save the file to a certain folder in the SP library, which should be done in the same apply to each. So, I don't understand why you set multiple Apply to each to accomplish these operations. Below are my test steps for you to try.

    One thing to note is that the names of all attachments in your SP list must be different, otherwise the flow will fail. After all, files with the same name and type cannot exist in the same file path. Of course, you can also determine whether the file is already in the folder before creating it.

     

    Hope this helps you!

    @v-mengmli-msft  It worked for me. Also files reuploaded with  same name is resolved by turning off "Allow Chunking". Thanks !
