Attachments Control Not working

Hi,

I am trying with much frustration to display two Attachments controls from two data sources where the records are linked via the ID field in SharePoint.

My latest attempt to get this working was to create a scrollable canvas with the main form, and then under the main form I created two more sections / data cards that connect directly back to the data sources that I want to display the attachments from.

When I'm editing my app, they seem to appear fine:

But when I play my app, I get the following screen:

So my question(s) are: Why is this happening (are there some restrictions with the attachments controls)? Is there anyway I can get this working or is there a better way of doing this?

Cheers,

the forms linked to the attachment control have no item source.

if you want them to be new records add "newform(<formname>)" on a button or the screen load command.

if it's pulling existing data change the item to reference the existing data (gallery1.selected for example)

Hi@Iamglt,

Could you please tell me that how you set the Item of the Form?

Do you want the form to display the attachment in the play mode?

Actually, the default mode of the form is Edit which means that if you do not set the certain item of the form, it will be no item to display.

I recommend that you try to set the Item of the form as below:

Last(SPlist)

Note: This will always display the latest record after you submit the form.

Hope it could help.

Regards,

Qi

Hi Qi,
Thanks for your reply, but that solution did not work. I want to be able to add new attachments of the record if it is is new, and edit any attachments if the record has already been created. I tried this in the 'Items' properties for both attachments boxes:
And for the second attachments box:
Maybe I should be putting a formula in the forms item, then another formula in the field item?
Cheers,

OK I have finally fixed this.
What I did was to use a scrollable canvas (as I have a collapsible read-only form and then another edit form (both connected to different data sources). I created a new section (which creates a data card) and then created a new form. I then selected the form, cut and pasted inside inside the data card.
Then I set forms item property I set to:

gallery.selected

Then I set the data card value set to:

LookUp(My Datasource,ID = varCurrRecord).Attachments

Where varCurrentRecord is the selected ID from the gallery.
Cheers,
G.
