Form.Updates.Attachments does not work

Posted on by VK2

Hello all,

as stated in subject, I am unable to get working Form.Updates.Atachments. I have wanted to have it as "check if any Attachments was changed (added, removed, updated)", but it is not working, does not display anything, it is empty even after change was done.
Other Form.Updates fields work as supposed - if change was done, it is displayed inside Form.Updates.
Anybody has any workaround or reason, why Form.Updates.Attachments does not work?

Thanks in advance,
appreciate any help.

Hi @VK2 ,

Please use AttachmentsDataCardValue.Attachments instead. The reason may point to complex table structure of the Attachments control. Updates property of a Form just collects all Update property of Data Cards within the Form as a record for adding to data source using SubmitForm or Patch function. I have no idea how you would like to check if value is changed in the form. But using the DataCardValue directly should work because Update property also reference the Control within the Card.

Best regards,

Ok! Thank you very much, at least something worked. My final code for check if Attachment was updated is following:

before letting user edit the form: ClearCollect(colTestAttachments, DataCardValueAttachment.Attachments)
before SubmitForm - If(!And(IsEmpty(Filter(colTestAttachments, !(ThisRecord in DataCardValueAttachment.Attachments))), IsEmpty(Filter(DataCardValue106.Attachments, !(ThisRecord in colTestAttachments)))), Notify("Attachments were changed!"))

Maybe somebody will create better and easier way, but thing works for me
