YAML Code to Add an Attachment Control (no form needed)

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 37
I've been trying to figure out the YAML code that will always work for the attachment control without having to rely on a form and copy it out of there.

Oddly enough, this doesn't work:
```
- attAttachFiles:
    Control: Attachments
```

I think it needs the "IsInDataCard: =true"

Of course I added in some defaults down below I would want set to save time that ties into the App.Theme.Colors.
If you have something useful like this or are looking for something you haven't found yet, let me know and I'll add it to the "snippets" repo, or I will try to figure it out. 😋👍

- attAttachFiles:
    Control: Attachments
    Properties:
      AccessibleLabel: ="Upload files here"
      ContentLanguage: =Language()
      MaxAttachmentSize: =50
      MaxAttachments: =10
      Tooltip: ="Upload files here"
      BorderColor: =App.Theme.Colors.Lighter60
      IsInDataCard: =true
      BorderThickness: =3
      Color: =App.Theme.Colors.Darker30
      Fill: =ColorFade(App.Theme.Colors.Lighter80, 70%)
      FocusedBorderThickness: =2
      HoverColor: =Self.Color
      ItemErrorColor: =Color.Red
      PaddingBottom: =10
      PaddingLeft: =10
      PaddingRight: =10
      PaddingTop: =10
      Width: =400
      X: =(Parent.Width - Self.Width) / 2
      Y: =(Parent.Height - Self.Height) / 2

    hey
     
    there is no way to work with attachments without having the attachment control.
     
    how do you want to add the attachment to your app without it?
     
     
    if my answer helped, please mark as verified,
     
     
    cheers

    As of 6/26/25, this solution works for me if I take out the "IsInDataCard" pair. Power Apps updated about 1-2 weeks ago and has improved this ability for Attachments controls outside of forms.
