Hi everyone,

I am trying to store 2 types of photos. From Camera control and from Add Media control.

If user is online, then the submit form sends the photos to attachment column.

Camera Control On select:

Collect(
 ColImages,
 {
 DisplayName: Label6_4.Text & ".jpg",
 Id: Label6_4.Text,
 Value: Camera1_4.Photo
 }
 );

Add Media control On Select:

Collect(
 ColImages,
 {
 DisplayName: "Uploaded" & Label6_4.Text & ".jpg",
 Id: "Uploaded" & Label6_4.Text & ".jpg",
 Value: UploadedImage3_4.Image
 }
 );

If user is offline, pictures from both control are stored in a collection and then sent to a library.

The Camera control images are working fine, the images are created in the library (via Flows).

However, the images from the Add Media control are failing (Convert to Binary image):

InvalidTemplate. Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Convert_to_binary_image' inputs at line '1' and column '16011': 'The template language function 'dataUriToBinary' expects its parameter to be formatted as a valid data URI. The provided value 'appres://blobmanager/bf69506ef8284392921febb1982d43d5/1' was not formatted correctly. Please see https://aka.ms/logicexpressions#dataUriToBinary for usage details.'.

Any idea if there is a difference between these 2 controls?

Hey,
For the Add Media control you can use
JSON(
UploadedImage3_4.Image,
JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData
)

Hi @Anousha
I tried the following as you said:
Collect( ColImages, { DisplayName: "Uploaded" & Label6_4.Text & ".jpg", Id: "Uploaded" & Label6_4.Text & ".jpg", Value: JSON(UploadedImage3_4.Image,JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData) } );
Image appears blank in collection gallery:

Here is the collection:

Hi there, It should work if you strip out the binary code from that Value, so you don't need to be storing that part at the beginning with data image jpeg e.t.c
