How I get an "Add Picture With Image" button to work?

I'm very new to Power Apps. I'm trying to populate a screen with data from a collection variable. The picker button works for the most part. I want to load the Image with the image in the collection. I tried this:

If( Not IsBlank(AddMediaButton1.Media), AddMediaButton1.Media, Not IsBlank(StepsView.Selected.Photo),StepsView.Selected.Photo, SampleImage)

This has an error that the statement is not returning an Image. The error is "Expected Image Value". However, these variations, which don't work, don't have errors:

If( Not IsBlank(AddMediaButton1.Media), AddMediaButton1.Media, SampleImage) // No Photo

If(  Not IsBlank(StepsView.Selected.Photo),StepsView.Selected.Photo, SampleImage) // No Media

I have no control of the Button.Media. I can't set it, I can "Reset" it. Can I change "Photo" to something compatible with Media?

Assuming StepsView is your gallery with the collection set as your items.

If you use

StepsView.Selected.Photo

in your image control are you seeing a photo?

Yes, and I see the selected image when I push it to a List with a "Collect".

Hi RM-13111543-0

Can you clarify where you're calling this formula, and perhaps post the code you're using to build the collection?

With regard to the "Expected Image value" error, the control should include an image control (it'll be named something like UploadedImage1). If you reference this instead, that should hopefully return an image value.

If( Not IsBlank(AddMediaButton1.Media), UploadedImage1.Image, SampleImage)

If you are seeing the image what is the purpose of the code that you are adding?

Do you want to display something in particular if there isn't an image, or load an image?

What functionality are you trying to add?

So,
Solved it. I had to add a delay into the OnChange in the Button. I stored the image into the collection before it actually changed, So I was getting the SampleImage or an old image. Seems to be working now.

Thank you for the replies!
