EditForm upload attachments to document library

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Iantaylor2050 603

I have a powerapp newform with SharePoint as the datasource. User can upload documents in NewForm which gets stored in document library successfully. Below is the code for the same.

 

NewForm Submit Button

ForAll(
 DataCardValue11.Attachments As file,
 'UAT-UploadtoDocLib'.Run(
 {
 contentBytes: file.Value,
 name: file.Name
 },
 DataCardValue3.Text,
 DataCardValue15.Text
 )
 );

 

I tried the same in EditForm, where user can upload additional documents. Sample2 and Sample3 are the new docs attached in EditForm.

EditForm Submit Button

ForAll(
 DataCardValue11_2.Attachments As file1,
 'UAT-UploadtoDocLib'.Run(
 {
 contentBytes: file1.Value,
 name: file1.Name
 },
 DataCardValue3_2.Text,
 DataCardValue16.Text
 )
 );

 

Sample2 an Sample3 gets uploaded in document library, however it takes lot of time. I need to wait for 2 minutes for the form to be submitted. Documents are very minimal in size as well not even 1 MB. Also, i face below error once flow ran.

May i know how to avoid this? There is no network issue or internet connection as highlighted in above error. It happens for all users.

    Hi @Iantaylor2050 ,

    Can you please share your Flow here, particularly how you are dealing with the output/format of the attachment control to get the Library content.

    Hi @Iantaylor2050 ,

    I should have spotted this from your first post, but was looking for something difficult rather than something simple - on Submit

    ForAll(
 DataCardValue11_2.Attachments As file1,
 'UAT-UploadtoDocLib'.Run(
 {
 file: 
 {
 contentBytes: file1.Value,
 name: file1.Name
 }
 },
 DataCardValue3_2.Text,
 DataCardValue16.Text
 )
);

    Hi @Iantaylor2050 ,

    Exact code I tested here and ran perfectly sending all files to a Library

    WarrenBelz_0-1700708220240.png

    You might check you are sending the parameters in the right order and number. What is the error ?
