Hello, I am solving the following problem.

I have an application in which there is a form and two attachment controls, how to ensure that attachments are sent from both controls. The data is saved in a Sharepoint list

Here is the error message :

SubmitForm(EditForm);
ResetForm(EditForm);
Set(UserPhoto, Blank());

// Combine attachments from both controls into a single collection
ClearCollect(
    CombinedAttachments,
    DataCardValue23.Attachments,
    DataCardValue29.Attachments
);

// Ensure the combined collection is formatted as a table of attachments
ClearCollect(
    FormattedAttachments,
    ForAll(CombinedAttachments, {Name: ThisRecord.Name, Value: ThisRecord.Value, DisplayName: ThisRecord.Name})
);

// Patch the combined attachments to the SharePoint list
Patch(
    CVRecords,
    Defaults(CVRecords),
    {
        Attachments: FormattedAttachments
    }
);

Problem is in Patch method :
The errors in the expression are that the Patch function is receiving a Table type argument '{Attachments}' instead of the expected 'Table (Attachment)' type.

Hi LukasToman

You cannot Patch attachments other than using Form.Updates which is really little different functionally in your case from submitting the form. Two controls are also going to be problematic as you only have one target field and the second control will simply overwrite whatever was saved with the first one.

There may be a (complex) path using Power Automate, however using one attachment control would be far easier.
