AbsoluteUri of Sharepoint List Item Attachments...Errors

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello everyone,

 

I'm trying to make a pdf using the html text control and html syntax. There's a part where I would like to include the attachments that form part of the sharepoint list item and this is where I have issues. The AbsoluteUri path that is generated from the attachments gives me a "can't reach this page" error when I click on the link generated. Then I noticed that the link of the sharepoint list item attachment is not exactly the same as the one the AbsoluteUri gives me, it appears to be abridged...

 

 

For example I get this from the powerapps AbsoluteUri
https://example.sharepoint.com/sites/PaymentVoucher/Lists/Vouchers/Attachments/63/WhatsApp

Instead of
https://example.sharepoint.com/sites/PaymentVoucher/Lists/Vouchers/Attachments/63/WhatsApp%20Image%202023-11-21%20at%2011.38.18_3e273065.jpg

 

 

Is there a way I can solve this problem?

 

This is my full html formula...

    Hi @AdaEloka ,

    Depending on where are using that, the URL resolution may stop at the first space (in the name in this case). You can try

    . . . . . " & 
    Concat(
     dat_Reports_VoucherTable.Selected.Attachments,
     "<br><br><a href='" & 
     Substitute(
     AbsoluteUri
     " ",
     "%20"
     ) &
     "'>" & DisplayName & "</a>"
    ) & " . . . . . .

    and see if that works for you.
