Hi Guys,

Ive got an app that a user goes to a Camerascreen and takes as many images as they would like (I have a flow that changes the images to jpg and uploads them to a document folder on sharepoint) and then when they are done they return back to another screen and finish the list.

However my issue is the images are seperated from the list item with no way to say those images belong to that list item. Can i somehow attach the images in a hyperlink to that sharepoint item once i submit the form?

Has anyone done this before?

Hi @Anonymous ,

How do you collect these captured images within your app? Using Collection?

Do you pass a collection of images from your app to your flow?

Why not fire your flow when you submit the form data to your SP List in your app?

Based on the needs that you mentioned, I think you want to attach the captured multiple images into single one item (submitted from your app) in your SP List, is it true?

The user @Ajilakes has faced similar issue with you, please check my response within the following thread:

On your side, you should pass a collection of images from your app to your flow via the JSON(ImageDataCollection, JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData) formula. Then within your flow, you should convert the JSON string value into a JSON Table using json function, then add a "Apply to each" action, set the Input box to the converted JSON Table (may be a json expression, e.g. json(outputs('Compose')) ). Within the "Apply to each" action, add a "Add attachment" action to add image data from the JSON table into the submitted record iteratively (in a loop).

Please take a try with above solution I provided, check if the issue is solved.

Best regards,

Hi @Anonymous ,

Based on the flow configuration that you provided, I think the solution I mentioned above is different from yours. Have you taken a try with the solution I provided above?

Do you pass a collection of images data from your app to your flow?

According to your flow's configuration, I assume that you want to create related image (.jpg) file within your SP Library based on the created SP List item, is it true? But within my solution, I recommend that you should attach multiple images files (pass from app) as attachments of the submitted SP List item.

Based on the needs that you mentioned, I think it is not necessary to store the image file into a SP Library, instead, you could consider attach the passed image files as attachments of the submitted SP List Item record.

I think the solution I provided above could achieve your needs, please consider take a try with it, then check if it is helpful in your scenario.

Best regards,
