Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hello there.

I am building a Power App and i have general and specific questions. App will be mostly used from a mobile device:

1) I need for users to be able to hit a button and select to take a picture or select from phone's gallery. This can be done by camera, add picture or both media options?

2) My app is designed for surveys. So, i will create surveys and in each survey I will select a location from a drop down and then add pictures and add a tag per picture. I have a list called Surveys and a document library called SurveyPhotos.

App has a drop down called locations, an add Picture button called Addphotos, a vertical library called Myphotos and a button to upload photos to SP.

Addphotos button has in on select state:

Collect(myPhotos,{Name:AddMediaButton1.FileName, Pic:UploadedImage1.Image, FileName:Concatenate("file",Text(CountRows(myPhotos)),".jpg") })

Image in vertical library has ThisItem.Pic value and title in vertical library has value ThisItem.Name, I also added in vertical library a text input called imagetag.

Till now everything is working when tested.

As for the import i created a flow with these steps:

1 - Power Apps (blank)

2 - Parse JSON

Content: parseJSON_Content

Schema:

{
 "type": "array",
 "items": {
 "type": "object",
 "properties": {
 "Name": {
 "type": "string"
 },
 "Pic": {
 "type": "string"
 },
 "Tag": {
 "type": "string"
 },
 "location": {
 "type": "string"
 }
 },
 "required": [
 "Name",
 "Pic"
 ]
 }
}

3 - Apply to each

Select output from previous stages: Body

Create file: Inside this step i entered my website and Document Library and in File Name i entered Name (from json) and in file content i put Pic (from json)

Update file properties: Inside this step i entered my website and Document Library and:

Id: ItemId

SurveyID: ItemId

Tag: Tag (from json)

Location: Location (from json)

Flow saved as JSONFlow.

Then in my app in the onSelect property of upload button i use this:

Set(theaction, JSON(MyPhotos, JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData));JSONFlow.Run(theaction,imagetag.Text,locations.Selected.Name);

When i try this i see images being uploaded on my document library. Location is there but all images have last(or first) image's tag. Any ideas?

Also can i somehow before uploading to create the survey in order to use its id in each uploaded image's data? in my doc library i have a column called surveyid

Many thanks in advance
