cannot refresh gallery fetching from data source

I have this Gallery and a tab sitting on top of the gallery. This tab has a file upload control that I stole from a form in another screen. I did this because I am using the file upload control function to upload a file and trigger a flow in automate that uploads the file with meta to a sharepoint directory.

This is in my file control OnAddFile:
fileUpload.Run(Project.ID,{file:{contentBytes: Last(DataCardValue89_1.Attachments).Value, name: Last(DataCardValue89_1.Attachments).Name}});
Refresh('PSI - DIRECTORY');
Reset(DataCardValue89_1);

The file upload works fine, but the gallery does not refresh to show the new file. However, If I add another file the same way right after this, it will show the first uploaded file and not the current file I am trying to upload. The same behavior keeps going every time I upload a file, the previous one shows up. So it's not refreshing real time.

The gallery is fetching directly from data source with this:
Filter('PSI - DIRECTORY', fk_projects = Project.ID)

I've read somewhere someone fixed this by doing the refresh and reset of the form. But this isn't a form since I just took the file upload control only and did the functionality with automate.

Any ideas?

wait, sorry the button thing did work. So I'm thinking you are correct, it just needs a little time. But adding automate to a var didn't do the trick

I also added an extra button with the following to click after file upload and still not working
Reset(DataCardValue89_1);
Refresh('PSI - DIRECTORY')

Re: cannot refresh gallery fetching from data source

@charlessexton thanks for the reply. I didn't think of it that way. It did not look to have worked however.

here is what I changed according to your comments
UpdateContext({ discard: fileUpload.Run(Project.ID,{file:{contentBytes: Last(DataCardValue89_1.Attachments).Value, name: Last(DataCardValue89_1.Attachments).Name}}) });
Reset(DataCardValue89_1);
Refresh('PSI - DIRECTORY')

Your Power Automate flow might not have finished by the time you're refreshing the data source. If you assigned the result of the flow to a variable, it will force it to complete before processing the next bit of code.

UpdateContext({ discard: fileUpload.Run(Project.ID,{file:{contentBytes: Last(DataCardValue89_1.Attachments).Value })
