Hi All

I have created a table in dataverse with attachments enabled .when i created a canvas app pointing to his table i can't find the attachments field in the canvas app.

My requirement is to

1. Upload multiple files for a record in canvas app.

2. Read the uploaded documents from table and display them in other screen (canvas app).

Hi @Hetvik ,

You can refer to my steps:

To upload attachments for a record, you can use Edit form. See my example. I have a gallery called "Gallery4" that shows all record of my dataverse table. Beside this gallery, I have a Editform that display the selected record of Gallery4. The current selected record called "test0812" with no attachment:

I can add attachments for this record using the Attachment control inside this Editform, then click submit button(SubmitForm(Form3)) to save the changes:

To read the attachments of the records, I can add another gallery in another screen, and set its Items property to:

Gallery4.Selected.Attachments

Note: Attachments returns table type result, even there is only one attachment, the returned result type is Table, so we need to use gallery to show the attchment.

Best regards,

Allen

I see that in your last gallery, you're using labels to show display name and ID. Can the user be able to click on the attachment file and see a preview in the browser? Like how we do in SharePoint

Hi Allen,

When i SubmitForm() all data are saved but not the attachments, it is showing "There is nothing attached".
