    If you only have one attachment in the attachments that you want to display, then you can put an Image control in your Gallery and set the Image property to First(ThisItem.Attachments).Value

    That should display it.

     

    I hope this is helpful for you.

    Hi @Oskarkuus ,

    Could you tell me whether you have problem about displaying attachments in your gallery or updating your attachments?

    1)how to display attachments in your gallery

    If one item only has one attachment, you could set like this:

    gallery's Items:

    listname

    image control's Image:

     First(ThisItem.Attachments).AbsoluteUri

    Just like this:

    If one item has multiple attachments , you could set like this:

    gallery1's Items:

    listname

    gallery2's Items:

    Gallery1.Selected.Attachments

    Image control's Image (inside gallery2):

    ThisItem.AbsoluteUri

    Just like this:
    1011.PNG

     

    2)How to update attachments?

    I'm afraid it's not supported to update attachments by using add picture button.

    You could only use attachments control to update attachments. What's more, attachments only work inside a form and should be updated by using SubmitForm() function.

    You should set like this:

    gallery's Items:

    listname

    insert a form to upload attachments

    set the form's data source to the same list

    set the form's Item:

    Gallery1.Selected

    Only choose attachments in this form

    set the attachments control's OnAddFile:

    SubmitForm(Form2)

    set the attachments control's OnRemoveFile:

     

    SubmitForm(Form2)

     

    Then after you select item in the gallery, you could upload file in that form.

    Just like this:

    As long as you're not planning to use this on mobile devices it would work.  Otherwise, use the Value as in the formula I provided.
