Hi there

I have a patch string

Patch('StudentReport-Test',varRecordItem, {Picture1: Text(FileLinkFromFlow)})

It returns an error "the specified column is read only and cant be modified"

The varRecord Item has collected the record I need.

The Column picture 1 is a image and the FileLinkFromFlow is an output created to set the url of the image taken.

This from Shane Youngs video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovLIwnj6QjU

Look forward to some help.

Hi @StuCundy

Picture type columns cannot be updated using Patch. (limitation)

Check out this video blog where I cover patch with all SharePoint column types

Hi @RezaDorrani

Thank you for your video its great.
I just need some direction in saving an image to a sharepoint then. I can set up the camera and get the image but I want to save a new image to each new item in the SP list. I have a form to collect the image. When I save it, the Path formed by the variable to show the picture url keeps updating as I take new pictures. I understand that but how can I set a picture URL to an item and keep the same url?
