Push attachments from powerapps to SharepointList with code

Posted on by maximvanneste

I'm making a little app that uploads stuff and I'm trying it to push the attachments to the sharepointlist when a button is pushed (along with some other information).

'Ziektebriefjes' --> Datasource (SharepointList)
For now the title, date & time entries work fine, but the attachments are empty in the list (not in powerapps).

Can anyone help me out?

Cheers.

Hi maximvanneste,

There may be some constraints that are hindering your attempts.
From what I recall of the initial release, this only works inside a form, amongst other things.

An alternative might be to use Flow triggered from PowerApps to upload the attachment for you?

Kind regards,

Hi @maximvanneste,

Could you please share a bit more about your scenario?

Do you want to add a new record with a attachment into your SP list?

Further, do you want to upload attachments into SP list item using code?

If you want to upload attachments into SP list item using code directly, I afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs in PowerApps currently.

If you would like this feature to be added in PowerApps, please submit an idea to PowerApps Ideas Forum:

I agree with @RusselThomas's thought almost. Currently, if you want to upload attachments to SP list item, I think the Attachments control could achieve your needs, but the upload functionality of this control only works within a form (Please check here).

More details about the Attachments control, please check the following article:

Attachments control

In addition, you could also take a try to create a flow (which triggers from an app) to upload an attachment to SP list item. More details about triggering a flow from an app, please check the following article:

Please check and see if the following blog would help in your scenario:
