Hey, im trying to use the attachment control to upload some files to send in a email, but the problem is that the "Attach File" is not showing up in the attachment control?

I can drag and drop files into it and it works, but i cant click on it so it opens my file explorer. I have the attachment control in other part of my apps where i already works, but when i copy and paste the working ones, the one that is pasted in doesnt have the "Attach file" button?

Does someone have a fix to this its really annoying. Have tried everything i can think of so far, but nothing seems to work.

Hi @EL-10052245-0, I am having exactly the same issue. Have you managed to fix the issue or do you have a workaround?

@SadFox, I have tried

- Ctrl + c and Ctrl + v

- Right click copy paste

- View code, copy code and paste

Unfortunately none of these work.

Hi @EL-10052245-0,

I always face this issue, I usually copy paste using Ctrl C and Ctrl V, It works after some tries.

U can Try coping the attachment from new form control if the issue Persists.

@EL-10052245-0, Found a workaround for a similar issue in another post, as suggested by WarrenBelz

Put in a Form with a DataSource that has attachments (any SP List) - do not worry about an Item, but set the Default Form Mode to New and add the Attachments field. Make the Card the full height of the Form and the control the full dimensions of the Card. It will all work exactly the same as one outside a Form.

You may also want to Reset the Form to clear the selection after you upload the file.

Drag the attachment control outside the form using the "Tree view" on the left of Power Apps.

I encountered this issue for the first time today and the answer from @Harish_101920 to drag the DataCardValue from the form in tree view is the only thing that worked for me. I needed to use the control on multiple pages, so I preconfigured the DataCardValue properties as desired. Then I copied the entire form to each page where I needed it, and then dragged the DataCardValue outside of the form using tree view. Thanks @Harish_101920!
