Text Property on Attachment column shows error.

Posted on by Mo78 249

I have a data table as a gallery. I have added an attachment column to show the attachment and to make it clickable if needed to be viewed.

 

I got this error when I added the column as below

the Text property = ThisItem.'{Attachments}'

 

 

 

I have tried this formula but it didn't work it just gave me True

 

(!IsBlank(Parent.Error) && Parent.DisplayMode=DisplayMode.Edit).  

 

Any idea

 

Thanks in advance

    HI @Mo78 ,

     

    Data tables can only show text and numbers, nothing else like attachments.

    Is there a way to show the attachment?

    Hi @Mo78 ,

     

    What you might do is insert an attachment control in the same screen (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/canvas-apps/controls/control-attachments) and set its' Items property to DataTable1.Selected.'{Attachments}' .

     

    Like this the control should show the attachments of the item which is selected in the table. Clicking on the attachments will then initiate a download of the selected attachment.
