Hello all!

I am making a model driven app with a timeline control to add attachments to rows in dataverse.

I want to disable the opportunity to download the attachments. I still want to have the quick view of the attachment.

Could you please help me?

Thanks!

Here is a high-level approach to disabling the download of attachments in timeline control for a model driven app.

Creating a model-driven app with a timeline control that allows viewing but not downloading attachments is a very specific requirement.

Customize the Timeline Control:
- Access the Power Apps maker portal and navigate to your model-driven app.
- Select the entity that contains the timeline.
- Customize the timeline control to modify its behavior.
Control Attachment Permissions:
- Use JavaScript or Web Resources to intercept the download event.
- Implement logic to prevent the download while still allowing the preview.
Configure Security Roles:
- Adjust the security roles in Dataverse to limit the permissions for downloading attachments.
- Ensure that users have the ‘Read’ permission to view the attachments but not the ‘Write’ or ‘Create’ permissions that would allow downloading.
Test the Configuration:
- Test the app with users assigned different roles to ensure that the download option is disabled as intended.
- Verify that the quick view functionality for attachments remains operational.
