Hi All,
I'm working on a App and looking forward to provide the ability to allow the users to upload attachments(PDF Only). When user clicks on upload icon, It should list out pdf files only from local drive. How to achieve this?
Hi @Anbu01,
Did you follow a guide and got stuck somewhere or is it a generic question? If the latter, I would watch some videos on this topic to understand the basics: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=powerapps+attachment
Hi @Akser
No, I didn't stuck anywhere. I just added the attachment control. When user clicks on upload icon It should show PDF(*.pdf) instead of 'all files'.
@Anbu01, I see.
I'm afraid I don't know a way to determine the type of files to show (in your case PDF) when you click 'Attach file'. You can however show an error message IF the user tries to attach anything other than a PDF, not sure if that is acceptable for you.
@Anbu01 ,
There is no way of changing the filter in the Open File dialogue from Power Apps, however you can ensure that the user only attaches PDF files - put this on the OnAddFile property of the Attachment Control
If( Last( Split( Last(Self.Attachments).Name, "." ) ).Result <> "pdf", Notify( "You can only attach PDF files", NotificationType.Error ); Reset(Self) )
