How to set SharePoint List attachment file should be opened in the browser instead of download.

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 71

Hi All,

 

I have a SharePoint list and customized it with PowerApps Form. I have used the default Attachment column for attaching the file and I have developed an approval workflow for this and everything works fine.

 

But here, When the user edits the list item and clicks on the file, it is downloading to local. But we need it to open in the browser for editing the document saving updated changes. How to achieve this? Do we need to create any document library to point out?

 

How to achieve this? Kindly support.

 

Thanks.

    Hi

     

    I could not see OnSelect option on the default Attachment DataCard, I could see only OnAddFile, OnRemoveFile, OnUndoRemoveFile.

    Hi @MSD52,

     

    We Suggest you insert a Button and write the Formula into the OnSelect.

     

    Hope this will help you,

    Best Regards,
