Posted on by UshaJyothiKasibhotla 225 Moderator

I have used patch function and used form only for attachment and uploaded the attachments to the SharePoint list.

My problem is 

after clicking the link it directly downloads and saves in local downloads. if we save the file with the extension pdf it is opening. this is happening in both SharePoint list and also in the approvals also.
What we need to do to open directly by the approver
please guide me on this

    Hi @UshaJyothi20 

     

    This is more a Power Apps question, not a flow question. Please move this to that side of the fence 🙂
