Concatenate SharePoint List Attachment Titles

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hi all,

I have a SharePoint list with attachments.

I need to get the names of all attachments and save this data into a "Multiple Lines of text" column in the list.

I'm close, but I need help with the formula.

I'm using a "Get attachments" action, then a "set variable" action from the outputs like so:

concat(body('Get_attachments'))

This gives me something like this:

[{"Id":"%252fLists%252fContract%2bRegister%252fAttachments%252f98%252f098%2bSupplierX%2bTechnology.pdf","AbsoluteUri":"https://Mydomain.com/Lists/Contract Register/Attachments/98/098 Mexon Technology.pdf","DisplayName":"098 Supplier Technology.pdf","@odata.type":"#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListItemAttachment"}]

I tried:

concat(body('Get_attachments')?['DisplayName']) but that was invalid because "...property 'DisplayName' cannot be selected. Array elements can only be selected using an integer index."

So basically all I need is the DisplayName of each of the items in the output of Get Attachments.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous
"Get Attachments" action returns array so I would suggest approach below:
Create variable "AttachmentNames" as array, where you store all attachment names
Add "Append to array variable" action and select "DisplayName" property from "Get Attachments" action. It adds "Apply to each" action automatically.
You can use join(variables('AttachmentNames'),'; ') to convert array into string
You can use join(variables('AttachmentNames'),'; ') to convert array into string
