Saving Attachment Field Values to a Local Collection

Posted on by TommySandtorv

Hi,
I'm building an app where user can add deviations to a sharepointlist, I'm using an editform to allow the users to add an attachment to the item they create.

However, the app is supposed to support offline capabilities, and here is my problem:
If the connection is lost during the creation of a new deviation I want to save all the data from the from, this is fine for most inputs as it collects the text/selected values from each of the datacards and saves them to a collection.

For other purposes in the app I want to save the attachments in a separate collection with the following columns:
| LocalID | Name | Image |

My though was to use For All as followed:
ForAll(AttachmentDataCardValue.Attachments, Collect(newCollection, { LocalID: newID, Name: Name, Image: Value }));

This gives the error 'Name isn't valid. This identifier isn't recognized'.

When I tested It worked fine for the name only when using this formula:
ForAll(AttachmentDataCardValue.Attachments.Name, Collect(newCollection, {LocalID: newID, Name: Name}));

So I my question is then, how can I collect both the names and values of the attachment field?
Any help or ideas is highly appreciated.

Hi @TommySandtorv ,
A different approach, but do you want all the attachments on an attachment control in a collection with fields Name, Value (as per the attachment) and a Field called LocalID with all same value which you specify as newID (I assume a Variable)? Try this
ClearCollect( colTemp, AttachmentDataCardValue.Attachments ); ClearCollect( colNew, //or whatever you want to call it AddColumns( colTemp, "LocalID", newID ) ); Clear(colTemp)

Please click Accept as solution if my post helped you solve your issue. This will help others find it more readily. It also closes the item. If the content was useful in other ways, please consider giving it Thumbs Up.

Thanks @WarrenBelz,

This works fine, just had to change the collection to have the image saved in a column named value throughout the app in order to use the already existing collection.
