What i have done is that i have two galleries one gallery uses a collection the other gallery the SharePoint list directly.

Gallery1 = Collection gallery

Gallery2 = SharePoint list gallery (Hidden gallery)

Gallery1 OnSelect = Set(varTicketID, ThisItem.TicketID);

Gallery2 items = Filter(SharePointList,(TicketID = varTicketID))

So when i click on an item in Gallery1 it is listed in Gallery2 by filtering. I do this because of delegation and that i want to get the attachments and i cannot do that in a collection but in Gallery2 i can get the attachments for the selected SharePoint item and display then in powerapps.

I then have a Attachment control that is set to Gallery2.Selected.Attachments

But sometimes it does not really list the attachments even if they are there it shows blank, if i click 2 times it is always listed. How can i make this more stable maybe using the update function or something? Please see the image below for showing the issue.

Hi @JimmyWork ,
You have a refresh (or lack of) issue going on here.
Happy to work though this with you - you are doing something a bit adventurous here, so this is not necessarily straight forward.
The first thing you might try is
Set(varTicketID, ThisItem.TicketID); Refresh(SharePointList)
Let me know if this makes a difference.

@WarrenBelz Thank you again
I will try the refresh part later tonight and update if it solved it, currently what i do is that i will display an icon if there is an attachment if the icon is there and it does not display the attachments on the first click i can always click again a second time and it will show. As this is not for the users interface i would say it is currently acceptable but of course I would like it to work perfect 🙂

@WarrenBelz I was to fast, each time i do a refresh the items shows or removes.

It will always say has attachments correctly but will only display the attachment each other time i do a refresh of the SharePoint list

I have a button that i set to Refresh(SharePointList)
This is what happens when i run it.
Can i have something on the screen that messes with it? I tried looking everywhere but not able to find anything.
I do new ClearCollects but thats all i do and the item is linked to selected item as i described on top.

@WarrenBelz Sorry for all the tags i did some more testing and for some reason this works but i dont understand why i can't remove any clearcollect and so on.

- 1st Button does a Refresh(SharePointList) and the navigates you to the second screen
- Screen2 onVisble = ClearCollect(RecordsTickets,Filter(SharePointList,Status.Value = "Unassigned" ));
- Gallery1 onSelect = Refresh(Helpdesk);ClearCollect(RecordsTickets, SharePointList); and sets variables for ticketId and navigates to screen3

- Screen3 = no refresh or clearcollect, everything is displayed correctly.
- Back button on Screen3 onselect= ClearCollect(RecordsTickets,Filter(SharePointList,Status.Value = "Unassigned" )); Back()

This way everything works if i remove any clearcollect or refresh it works only each other time, i cant wrap my head around why or even what im doing so many collects for now.

Maybe it just about delays, can i create a delay?

Hi @JimmyWork ‘
I am in a different time zone to you (6am Sunday morning here) so have just got back to this.
You can do a delay with a timer control (you can hide it). Set a Variable when you want it started and set the a timer Start property to this variable, then set the timer OnTimerEnd to the action you require, with the Duration in milliseconds (2000 = 2 seconds)
