Getting record ID from a related CDS entity in PowerApps

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Ee Lane 37

Hello All

 

Happy Friday!

Is there a way to easily retrieve the ID of a related entity in CDS? 

The form below is displaying information from Account table. I want to get the ID of the Attachments associated to the Account.

 

 Is there an easy way to do it? One way I can think of is using Lookup to retrieve the Attachment ID from the Attachment table and store in Collection but I hit Invalid argument error when i try to do that.

 

Thanks in Advanced Smiley Happy

    LookUp() will retrieve a record, whereas if you have more than one attachment you will need Filter()
