I am building a PowerApp for file uploads, and it must maintain the file's creation and modification dates of these files. The challenge arises because platforms like SharePoint, OneDrive, and the Graph API typically overwrite these dates upon upload. Finding a solution is crucial, as manual entry of these dates before uploading is not viable, given the application's use across the company and the large number of files it will handle. An automated process to accurately capture and preserve this metadata is necessary to avoid substantial operational difficulties.
I've contemplated requiring users to input these properties before uploading manually, but this approach is far from ideal. Given the application's company-wide usage and the management of thousands of files, such a manual process would lead to significant inconvenience. Finding an automatic method for retrieving this information is imperative to streamline operations.
Does anyone have any creative ways to solve this problem?
