Re: save attachment to a sharepoint list

Hi @Perez

If you want to add a attachment to a SP list item using Patch function directly, I afraid that there is no way to achieve in PowerApps currently.

You can do it via Attachments field within the Edit form. Use a formula like below:

Patch('Brief Process', Defaults('Brief Process'),({ .. .. },YourEditFormName.Updates)

Re: save attachment to a sharepoint list

Hi @Ethan_R ,
thanks for your reply.
i tried the method explained in Shane's video, but didn’t succeeded.
in the video it is saved into a document library while I’m trying to save into a SharePoint list.
i made the following necessary changes:
i used the add attachment activity rather than create file
after the patch activity into the list i added this formula:

EasyUpload.Run(Last(AttachmentField.Attachments).Name,"" ,"",varBase64Only,Last(Sort('Amdocs Agency - Brief Process',ID,Ascending)).ID);

i couldn’t add it a s part of the patch as i need to get the ID of the created item.
any idea?

Hi @Perez ,
I would like to suggest you this YT Video from Shane.
I've used it and it simply works perfectly.

Hope this helps.
