Sharepoint Form Attachments

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 63

I am trying to create a custom Sharepoint form for a list with attachments. I have permissions on the list set to disallow edit and delete. The form is a new form and when I add an entry all data is saved except the attachments. This seems to be a permission issue and Im wondering if there is a work around. If I give the user Contributer everything works fine. Thanks.

    Hi @admiralman ,

    Attachments should be part of the edit permission. As an example, I have a custom permission (below) for Edit, but not delete.

    There is no provision separately on attachments.

    Have you looked at the Update properties of the Attachments card?

    Happy to hear from others if I am wrong here

    Hi @admiralman ,

    Do you mean that you could update other fields except attachments?

    Could you show me

    1)how do you set the form to disallow edit and delete?
    2)how do you update attachments?the attachments datacard Update?attachments control property?the formula about updating attachments?

    Please notice that:

    You could only use Attachments control to update attachments and Attachments control could only work inside a form.

    And you could only use submitform function to update attachments, not patch function.

    Here's my test for your reference:

    Usually, we insert a form, choose attachments field.

    Set the Attachments field datacard's Update:

    DataCardValue20.Attachments

    The submit formula should be like:

    SubmitForm(Form name)

     

     

     

    Best regards,

    I am disallowing Edit and Delete permissions via Permission Level assignment. I had read in another post where this is causing the issue. Based upon your input...it seems this is correct.

    If you copy the Contributor permission level and remove Edit and Delete for the list and assign the Test user to that level you should see the issue I am referring to.
