Name and Value options missing from Attachment Control using DataVerse table

(2) ShareShare

Posted on by 35
All - I am having some issues downloading attached (pdf) files. More specifically, I am using @RezaDorrani example (https://www.youtube.com/shorts/IGZc022MI_o).
My issue is with attempting to insert an Attachment Control to aide in the download process. In particular, after following the steps to insert the Attachment Control into my Container I can add the "Items" values {Name:"testfile.pdf", Value: myPdfBlob}, however when I go into the control's properties, I do not see the Name and Value properties so as to ensure they are set to "Name" and "Value" respectively. Is this an issue with using a DataVerse table as opposed to SharePoint? Or am I missing something more?
 
Thanks in advance.

    Issue resolved...found an article that mentioned enabling the Legacy Formula Bar feature, which can be found within the Settings - Retired Features Tab.
    Once enabled, the Name and Value options appeared within the Advanced properties of the Attachment Control.

    Good morning, just curious if this fix still works for you. I don't have that Legacy option available when I check my settings and I'm running into this same problem. I actually posted a question about it and then kept researching and found this post. Any suggestions, let me know!

    Greetings!

    Someone had a solution for this problem? The option for legacy bar is no more!

    @Kristi Christopherson, have you find it? I've been searching for a long time the solution for that.

    Thanks!

    For any one looking at this post removal of legacy formula bar option, you can change the items value in your attachment control to something like this depending on your dataverse table:

    [{Value: ThisItem.filecol.Value&Last(Split(ThisItem.filecol.FileName, ".")).Value, DisplayName: ThisItem.filecol.FileName }]

    this allows you to click on the file in the control to download it fine.

    I tried the solution by mattb3 but in my case clicking the files don't do anything visibly but checking from developer tools it returns a 404 error

    I tried the solution by @mattb3 but I am unable to download the files.
    As suggested by @RH-25092337-0, I am unable to see the Legacy formula bar toggle in the settings. 
    Any solution please?

    Tried Matts suggestion and doesn't work for me as well :(
    Does it work for the Notes table? Or should it be file type only?
     
    My formula for the Items property:
    [
        {
            Name: First(colNotes).DisplayName,
            Value: First(colNotes).Value & Last(Split(First(colNotes).DisplayName, ".")).Value,
            DisplayName: First(colNotes).DisplayName
        }
    ]
