I have this formula inside a submit button:-

//the file to be added asa list item attachment
Set(varAttachment, { DisplayName: Substitute("Print Job" & Text(Now(),"yyyy-mmm-dd hh:mmm AM/PM") & ".pdf", ":","_"), Id: Substitute("Print Job" & Text(Now(),"yyyy-mmm-dd hh:mmm AM/PM") & ".pdf",":","_"), Value: Substitute(JSON(varWorkOrderPDF,JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData),"""","")});

IfError(
SubmitForm(PrintFormForm),
 Notify(
 "Error Submitting the Print form",NotificationType.Error,10000),

Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2(
 PrintFormForm.LastSubmit.'Printing House Email',
 PrintFormForm.LastSubmit.'Email Subject',
 PrintFormForm.LastSubmit.'Email Body',
 {
Attachments:Table({
 Name: varAttachment.DisplayName,
 ContentBytes: varAttachment.Value
})

 }
);

 );

the formula will generate a PDF >> then attach it to an email as attachment. now we need to expand this formula, to allow attaching all the list item attachments inside the email (and not just the generated PDF file), for example we have the generated PDF and 4 images.. how we can attach all the attachments inside the attachment control in the email?

Hi @johnjohnPter ,

I am a little unclear what you are doing with the file names here as your code does not seem to match the file names you have posted in the image, however assuming you simply want to change the time from hh:mm to hh_mm in existing files names, This would be much easier if you simply sent the files with the current names.

IfError( SubmitForm(PrintFormForm), Notify( "Error Submitting the Print form", NotificationType.Error, 10000 ), With( { _Attach: ShowColumns( AddColumns( AttacmentControlName.Attachments, "NewName" "Print Job" & Text(Now(),"yyyy-mmm-dd hh_mmm AM/PM") & ".pdf" ), "Value", "NewName" ) }, Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2( PrintFormForm.LastSubmit.'Printing House Email', PrintFormForm.LastSubmit.'Email Subject', PrintFormForm.LastSubmit.'Email Body', { Attachments: AddColumns( RenameColumns( _Attach, "Value", "ContentBytes", "NewName", "Name" ), "@odata.type", "" ) } ) )

@WarrenBelz currently inside the attachment control, we can upload any file such as the 4 images +the PDF ffile that get generated.. in short how we can attach all the attachments inside the attachment control (which can include already existing attachments and new attached not saved yet to sharepoint) inside an email? thanks
