File Attachment name does not appear in Form

Hi There,

I have a very designed simple dataverse table with one text column for customer Name and 3 file attachments for saving customer files in three different attachment column.

I am using Canvas app screen with form in editmode. My form has Text field to display customer name from database table and 3 attachment controls to allow user to attach 3 different types of fies.


I have set the default property of form attachment control to

ThisItem.FileAttachments.

 

Its bit strange that I am unable to add Default: ThisItem.Attachment

I dont know why PowerApps gives me FileAttachment instead of Attachment.

 

When I created Dataverse data table, I used Data type: File for Attachment control

 

I have used Data type: File in designing earlier applications also but never saw Default property as ThisItem.FileAttachments. It was always ThisItem.Attachments.  

 

I am using SAVE button outside form with code: SubmitForm(Customer_form_Name);

 

Once I play the application, I am able to attach the files ( images, text files, PDF's etc) to attachment controls and on clicking SAVE button I able to save  the form.

 

When I attach the files, I am able to view the attached files names. however after submitting I cant see attachment file name.  File name disappear from the attachment window. 
When I add 3 or 4 files in attachment, after saving it I can view only one row in Attachment control without name.  So not sure of why it shows only 1 row without name in file attachment control.

 

One more issue is, I attached 3 files on First Attachment control "Customer Order Attachments" and after Saving form all 3 file attachment disappeared from Customer Order attachment control. However both attachment controls "Customer Order Attachments" and "Customer Service Files Attachments" shows me 1 blue color row without any file name.

I only attached text files on one control and after saving I am able to see one attachment row in both attachment controls. 

 

Both attachment controls Default is set to: ThisItem.FileAttachments

Both attachment controls Items is set to: Parent.Default

Both attachment controls Max Attachment is set to: 10

Both attachment controls Maximum attachment size is set to: 10MB

My text file attachment size is hardly 2kb to 8KB in size.

I am not sure something wrong I am doing while configuring attachment card and attachment control or something else is wrong here.

Please view the screenshot here.
