OnAddFile add file to collection

Hello,

How to add file to collection when user tries to attach file?

I have custom attachment collection when user press on camera control it adds that image to collection :

Set(varImageName, GUID());
Collect(
 colCameraImages, 
 {
 DisplayName: varImageName & ".jpg",
 Id: varImageName & ".jpg",
 Value: Camera1.Photo
 }
);

However in some cases users want to use attachment control just to be able to add high quality images.

How can I accomplish that?

Hi @flowslcaplikas ,
On the "Add Image" control, AddMediaButton1, OnChange: property;
Set(varImageName, GUID()); Collect( colCameraImages, { DisplayName: varImageName & ".jpg", Id: varImageName & ".jpg", Value: UploadedImage1.Image } );
Hope this helps,

If someone is searching for solution without collections as workaround, just add additional form and add toggle. You will have two additional attachments, one with collection attachments and another with default attachment control and after pressing on Submit just submit both forms.

Hi @flowslcaplikas ,
Did you mean the "add image" control in your original question, or using a form with attachments?
Kind regards,

Hi,

I meant from a form with attachments. I'll add some images to make it more clear:

This is a camera control which has property OnSelect:
Set(varImageName, GUID()); Collect( colCameraImages, { DisplayName: varImageName & ".jpg", Id: varImageName & ".jpg", Value: Camera1_1.Photo } );
And if user wants to add additional high quality images he can use Attachment control to "Attach file".
However, if he tries to add file it turns into "unsaved" and after submit it won't add to collection
What function I can use to be able to Collect added file to collection (colCameraImages) I guess on "OnAddFile". property?
(attachment property "Items": colCameraImages)

Hi @flowslcaplikas ,

You can actually do it all on one attachment control with this really neat process from @RezaDorrani
