Hi,

I use this formula below to save PDF as attachment on a sharepoint list.

REPONSEBVPDF1.Run({file:{name:Label22.Text&".pdf";contentBytes:PDF(ReponseBV;{ExpandContainers:true})}})

But with this formula it only creates an element on my sharepoint list without save my PDF file as attachment.

if i replace on this formula Label22.Text&"pdf" by "test.pdf" the file is attached correctly to my sharepoint list.

The issue i have is that i need to get the text which is located to the Label22.Text on another screen

Hi @Sormick ,

Is Label22 a calculated label ? If so maybe create a Variable with the calculation when whatever creates it is input and then use the Variable in the file name.

Please find here one the the variables i entered to the label.22.text:
Set(SELECTEDTEXTE;DataTable1.Selected.'Grand Tag')
If i add this variable! SELECTEDTEXTE to REPONSEBVPDF1.Run({file:{name:SELECTEDTEXTE&".pdf";contentBytes:PDF(ReponseBV;{ExpandContainers:true})}})
the file is not added as attachment on the sharepoint list.
this variable was added on the label22.text on the "text" field.

@Sormick ,

If you look in the Variable SELECTEDTEXTE (put it on a Label), do you see the file name ?

Hello,
I confirm i can see the filename of the variable SELECTEDTEXTE on the label22.text
On the sharepoint list i can see the filename on the new created record but the PDF file is not attached to this record.
if i replace this variable on REPONSEBVPDF1.Run({file:{name:SELECTEDTEXTE&".pdf";contentBytes:PDF(ReponseBV;{ExpandContainers:true})}}) to REPONSEBVPDF1.Run({file:{name:"TEST.pdf";contentBytes:PDF(ReponseBV;{ExpandContainers:true})}}) now the PDF is added as attachment on my sharepoint list.
but i need to get the text on this variable. I don't know how to rectify this.

OK - one last attempt as this is making no sense

With( { _Name: SELECTEDTEXTE & ".pdf"; _PDF: PDF(ReponseBV;{ExpandContainers:true}) }; REPONSEBVPDF1.Run( { file: { name: _Name; contentBytes: _PDF } } ) )

Finally i found what is causing this issue.
This only works with variables but not with labels text.
Now it works!

@Sormick ,

That is exactly what I tried to do with my last post - With() produces a temporary Variable
