Remove attachments using Reset button

Posted on by BonusCup

Hi all,

New user to Power Apps. Using one of @RezaDorrani solutions I have a dropdown list for the attachment field that will add the selected option as a prefix tag to the filename being attached. That works fine when submitting. I also have a 'Reset' form button that resets all the fields but does not remove the attachments as expected. Has anyone run into this issue and how did you resolve?

Reset button formula:

Set(var,true);ResetForm(Form3);NewForm(Form3);Navigate(Home,ScreenTransition.Fade)

In the OnSelect option in the Reset button I have tried:

changed from: Reset(DataCardValue7)
changed to: UpdateContext({ResetAttachment:true})

full formula: Set(var,true);ResetForm(Form3);NewForm(Form3);UpdateContext({ResetAttachment:true});Navigate(Home,ScreenTransition.Fade)

On the 'Reset' option for the Attachment field I entered "ResetAttachment", no quotes.

I saved off and ran but still having the same issue

Thanks for any help.

Hey Try go to the default property of the attachment control and make it:

If(!varResetAttach,Parent.Default)

add this to the onselect of the reset button:

Set(varResetAttach,true)

If you need to set it false later you can try do that on visible.

Let me know how this goes.

Okay Ignore my previous suggestion it seems that no longer works try this, I tested it on my side and it works:

Step 1 click into the form the inside the attachment datacard or a new custom one either works insert a button

Step 2 on this new buttons onselect add Reset(DataCardValue7) (Assumption made by your post that the attachment control is called DataCardValue7

(image above for step 1 and 2)

Step 3 make it invisible by changing the visible property

Step 4 add a new button anywhere you want to reset it and on it's select write Select(Insert the name of the button we put inside the form)

(Image relating to final step above)

@AJ_Z
I tried your suggestions but it still did not work. For testing I named the boxes 'Button2' and 'Button3' for the order in which you had created them.
For 'Button2', I placed the button inside the DataCardValue7 control as you did in your post.
Button2 OnSelect = Reset(DataCardValue7)
turned 'visible' off for 'Button2'
For 'Button3', I placed it inside the 'Attachments_DataCard1'
Button3 OnSelect = Select(Button2)
When testing, the attached file was still there. I turned 'Button2' visible back on and reran it so I could push either button and this did not work either. The attachment was still present.

I am also having this issue where all solutions don't work in clearing the attachments when another control is changed.
