Hi,

I am submitting images to a SharePoint document library stored in a Power Apps collection, using flow to push the images to a doc lib.

While the user is completing the form, they can see the images they have attached to the form through the gallery.

How do I allow users to view submitted images, in a submitted record in Power Apps, when they navigate back to a record?

I have multiple collections I am looking to push up to a doc lib, I have logged a separate question on Power Automate forum, would be good to get some help on that too please?

HI @WarrenBelz
I am actually stuck with trying to collect multiple image collection, this is my code so far.
For 1 collection of images, the process works and maps to the SPO doc library - need to resolve mapping the item to the current item but i guess that will be later.
Set(ImagesToJSON, JSON(ImageCollection, JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData)); AddImages.Run(ImagesToJSON)
But I have other screens with other collections I want to collect if they are not empty and pass that 1 collection to the AddImages Power Automate flow

If I have 2 images collections from 2 different screens:

Set(ImagesToJSON, JSON(ImageCollection, JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData)); //And then on another screen I have: Set(bImagesToJSON, JSON(ImageCollectionB, JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData)); //I'm unsure how I combine both to pass them to Power Automate?

Thanks

Hi @Lefty ,'

Firstly, how do you make the ImageCollection? If they are camera photos, you can deal with them without the JSON and use datUriToBinary in the Flow (please read my blog on this). If they are uploaded images, then the full JSON conversion is required (also in my blog).
Please advise on this.

Yes my images are uploaded images via the Add Picture control and added to the a collection. The requirement is for the users to be able to upload multiple images for 1 defect. And then multiple images for another defect and so on. I understood your blog, but was hoping I did not have to re-do the set up I currently have as it appears its slightly different, of course if I have to, then I will follow your blog as its very well explained.

I need help with combing the collections, and passing only 1 parameter to Flow, which is my first issue, then I think I can use your blog to add an additional step in my flow to reference an ID from the list the item is linked to.

@Lefty ,

Two things - to combine Collections that are identical in field names and field types

ClearCollect( ImageCollectionAll, ImageCollection, ImageCollectionB )

The second, you said you had this working using the JSON in your code? What is the Collect code on these?
I will also be offline shortly due to time zone.

I tried what I thought was your suggestion but getting errors:
On Screen1 next button OnSelect I have this:
Set(ImagesToJSON, JSON(ImageCollectionA, JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData));

Then on Screen Submit button I thought this was what I needed:
Set(bImagesToJSON, JSON(ImageCollectionB, JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData)); ClearCollect(AllImages,ImagesToJSON,bImagesToJSON, cImagesToJSON); //Ignore cImagesToJSON AddImages.Run(AllImages)

This is my flow:

@Lefty ,

Now I see your Flow, you are using a completely different method (parsing an array in the Flow) to what I use in my process. If this is working, good, however the problem you face it that you want to view these images and identify which belong to the list item. To do this, you will also have to send an identifier for the "master" record they belong to (the ID is the best one as it is unique) and put this in the metadata of the Library.

I am not a Flow troubleshooter (I use it for what I need), however it appears that as you are using an Apply to each to create the file, you could add a reference field (I call my field IDRef) to the Library in a stage Update file properties (refer to the blog) and then send the ID as a additional parameter in the flow.
