Hi all! I haven't been using PowerApps for a while now and feel like I'm starting all over. I need the communities help. I have a gallery based on a Sharepoint list. This list also has attachments(photos). However, I have to create a collection to use in the app rather than the list itself. When I scroll the massive list my app crashes so that's why I went this route. Now the issue I'm having is, now that I'm working with a collection, how do I reference back to view the attachments for each record.

First screen is the gallery with the collection. This allows the user to select an inventory record....

Second screen shows the detail of the selected record...

In this record, it should show the attachments that are associated with the record according to the SP list.

I just do not know how to point back to the SP list when I'm using the collection.

Please, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all!

Hi @Anonymous ,

Assuming you have one attachment per record - an Image control inside a Gallery based on the list

First( LookUp( SPList, ID = ThisItem.ID ).Attachments ).Value

Outside the gallery

First( LookUp( SPList, ID = GalleryName.Selected.ID ).Attachments ).Value

or all the attachments in a second gallery (if more than one per item).

LookUp( SPList, ID = GalleryName.Selected.ID ).Attachments

where the Image would be

ThisItem.Value
