Delay Upload - SharePoint / PowerApps list form

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 6

Hello,

 

I am having an issue with my PowerApp connected to a SharePoint form. The list items are getting saved successfully, however, if the user uploads multiple attachments and submits the form too quickly some of them may be left out. For example, I've attached 3 files to my form and only two came through.

 

I noticed that this behavior doesn't happen if I wait for a couple of minutes before I submit the request, therefore I assume that it only happens because the file has not finished uploading, yet the form can still be submitted and the item gets saved without any attachments.

 

Possible solutions I thought of would include some sort of submission delay (though I wouldn't like the user to see this, I would like it to happen in the backend) or connecting a flow to the PowerApp that uploads the attachments to a SharePoint library instead of a list. Is there a message I can display asking the user to wait until the upload is finished?

 

Thank you in advance.

    Hi,

     

    This very interesting... I have a few apps that submit from tablets and Smart phones along with desktops and laptops and have not seen this. 

     

    Are you using the attachments field?

    Hi Jay,

     

    sorry for the delay in my response. Indeed I am using the attachments field, it is connected to a SharePoint list.

    I am also facing same issue. Is this a backend issue as for me this is creating duplication of Values if there is a delay in submission of form to SharePoint list
