Is there a simple way to display File attachment in entity list

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 55

I have a "file type" field I am wanting to put that in an entity list although it looks like you can not show File  field types within a view 

 

is there a way around this? basically wanting an entity list with a document associated with each record to be clicked on and downloaded from within? 

 

I was thinking about having a seperate portal form that opens up when the record is clicked but wanting to try and avoid that if possible 

 

Many thanks

    Hi @OliverRodrigues  !

     

    First of all thanks for your awesome guide, yet I am not able to achieve it 100% like described in your blog  http://oliverrodrigues365.com/2020/05/24/power-apps-portals-generate-and-download-word-document-from... 

     

    I created the Workflows and the columns get filled with _entity/annotations/{NoteGuid} and with the JS the download button also appears fine.

    However if I click the button this shows up:

    Do you know why this happens? Maybe I did something wrong along the blog post 🙂

    Hi, at the moment File types are not supported in Power Apps Portals.

    A workaround for this, would be having your image as a note, and with a few tricks around URLs and JS, you can have in a downloadable format.

    I wrote an article with similar requirement that might be useful: http://oliverrodrigues365.com/2020/05/24/power-apps-portals-generate-and-download-word-document-from-an-entity-list/
