Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi ,

Spoiler (Highlight to read)

I need two attachments Column in my power app form

One for showing the attachment of user and another one for the attachment of approvers

For the user I've used the attachment column in the data field

If I used one attachment from the data field the attachments of approvers is getting stored in the users attachment column

I tried to create a image column in my sharepoint list and tried to used the same as an attachments column for approvers , but it only taking images (pdf & excel files not supported )

Spoiler (Highlight to read)

Then I tried to copy attachment datacardvalue into the image datacard, but it is showing some errors (Don't know whether it works )

Could anyone help me to fix the issue

Hi @Anonymous ,

There is only one attachment field available per SharePoint list and if you put two controls on the Form (which you can do by unlocking the first one and then adding another one (they will both be "pointing" at the same field).

The best you could do (this video may assist, but is not a simple process) is to filter the control content based on the name you give it. You would then have to control the saving to ensure both save the full unfiltered collection.

I checked that video , but it is different from my requirement
Is it possible if I copied the datacardvalue of the attachment and paste it in the image column datacard, and update the datacard property

will that work ?

@Anonymous ,

An image field will only accept one file (of image type) and the "upload" control for that is an Add Picture control (not an Attachment control). To be honest if I was dealing with your requirement, I would file them all in a SharePoint Library (or two) - you can actually use attachment controls for this as per this video
