Save image in SharePoint List

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 308

Hi Power Apps community,

 

I am trying to create an App that permits users to upload images in a SharePoint List. I can only find videos and articles about how to upload images in a SharePoint Library or capture pictures with the app and save it in SharePoint List. However, I cannot find a solution to upload an image from my pc using Power Apps and save that image in a SharePoint List. 

 

Is it possible to achieve this function with Power Apps?

 

Any help will be much appreciated.

    Hi @JB0007 ,

    You need an Add Picture Control. You then store it with a Flow - here is a Video on the process.

    Hi @JB0007 :

    Thanks for @WarrenBelz 's solution.

    Using flow is an effective and commonly used method,but I usually recommend the method of converting the image into a binary format for storage.

    I've made a test for your reference:

    My data source(List B):

    Column (click to edit) Type

    TitleSingle line of text
    PICMultiple lines of text

    1\Add an add picture control(AddMediaWithImage1)

    2\Add a button:

    OnSelect:

     

    Patch(
     'List B',
     Defaults('List B'), /*add a new record*/
     {Title:Text(Now()),
     PIC: Substitute(JSON(UploadedImage1.Image,JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData),"""","")
     }
    )

     

    3\add a gallery(Used to display saved pictures)

    Items:

     

    'List B'

    @v-bofeng-msft  Thanks for this direct PA solution, works fine. No Flow needed. 😀 Gr. Lex

    This looks like just the solution I was looking for! Everything works just like you laid out but the image does not show up in the Gallery view. I don't even have the option to assign my binary data to the image control in the gallery. Is there something I'm missing?

    Thanks!!

    a question can these images be sent by mail from powerapps?

    @v-bofeng-msft Thank you for your response as this is the only solution that has seemed to work for me. How do I go about mass converting these into a folder of images while keeping some sort of tags to sort and filter them? Thanks!

    Hey i wanted to follow-up on this. I used it in my workflow and it does as it is show in the images. I am making a form in power apps and I want the user to also upload an image in the form. If I use the method stated above, all I see is multiline text. I would like to see the image that has been uploaded by the user. I am not sure if there is a work around as this was the first post I came across.
    Please let me know.
