I have an app in which the user needs the ability to take and name several site pictures.

The image gallery is below. In the test there are three images.

The 'Store Collection' button has the following formula -

Collect(

Job_Images_Collection,

{

DisplayName: Photo_Screen_Image_Dropdown.Selected.Value,

Id: Photo_Screen_Image_Dropdown.Selected.Value & ".jpg",

Value: Photo_Screen_Control.Photo,

Image_Description: Photo_Screen_Image_Dropdown.Selected.Value,

Invoice_Type: Photo_Screen_Invoice_Type_Fld.Text,

Location: Photo_Screen_Location_Fld.Text,

Title: Photo_Screen_Location_Fld.Text & " - " & Photo_Screen_Invoice_Type_Fld.Text & " - " &
Photo_Screen_Image_Dropdown.Selected.Value & " - " & Photo_Screen_WO_Number_Fld.Text & " - " &
Photo_Screen_Work_Date_Fld.Text,
Work_Date: Photo_Screen_Work_Date_Fld.SelectedDate,

Work_Order_Number: Photo_Screen_WO_Number_Fld.Text

}

);

Clicking the button only saves the last picture taken rather than all the picture in the Gallery. There should be three entries below but there is only one. What am I missing?

Hi @Phineas

I only see you doing a single Collect

Am I missing where you are looping and grabbing them all?

I dont know exactly what but either LoopUp all the gallery.AllItems or whatever is selected filter on that or do a ClearCollect, with AllItems (too much really but possible)

If I have helped you, I would really appreciate if you please Mark my answer as Resolved/Answered, and give it a thumbs up, so it can help others

Cheers

I tried a 'ForAll...', I got the same result - the last image created three times in the Collection.

ClearCollect(
Job_Images_Collection,
ForAll(
Photo_Screen_Gallery.AllItems,
{
DisplayName: Photo_Screen_Image_Dropdown.Selected.Value,
Id: Photo_Screen_Image_Dropdown.Selected.Value & ".jpg",
Value: Photo_Screen_Control.Photo,
Image_Description: Photo_Screen_Image_Dropdown.Selected.Value,
Invoice_Type: Photo_Screen_Invoice_Type_Fld.Text,
Location: Photo_Screen_Location_Fld.Text,
Title: Photo_Screen_Location_Fld.Text & " - " & Photo_Screen_Invoice_Type_Fld.Text & " - " & Photo_Screen_Image_Dropdown.Selected.Value & " - " & Photo_Screen_WO_Number_Fld.Text & " - " & Photo_Screen_Work_Date_Fld.Text,
Work_Date: Drop_Work_Date_DataCardValue.SelectedDate,
Work_Order_Number: Photo_Screen_WO_Number_Fld.Text,
Comments: Photo_Screen_Comment_Fld.Text
}
)
);

But in your ForAll, you aren't references by ThisRecord,

You are just putting in the control name, which is causing it to get the whatever.

In your for all you still need to reference the controls by ThisRecord

I did finally get the following to work - though it only allows for one picture at a time to be taken and saved to the Collection, which is fine in this scenario.

Camera Control OnSelect -
Collect(
Job_Images_Collection,
ForAll(
Photo_Screen_Gallery.AllItems,
{
DisplayName: Photo_Screen_Image_Dropdown.Selected.Value,
Id: Photo_Screen_Image_Dropdown.Selected.Value & ".jpg",
Value: Photo_Screen_Control.Photo,
Image_Description: Photo_Screen_Image_Dropdown.Selected.Value,
Invoice_Type: Photo_Screen_Invoice_Type_Fld.Text,
Location: Photo_Screen_Location_Fld.Text,
Title: Photo_Screen_Location_Fld.Text & " - " & Photo_Screen_Invoice_Type_Fld.Text & " - " & Photo_Screen_Image_Dropdown.Selected.Value & " - " & Photo_Screen_WO_Number_Fld.Text & " - " & Photo_Screen_Work_Date_Fld.Text,
Work_Date: Drop_Work_Date_DataCardValue.SelectedDate,
Work_Order_Number: Photo_Screen_WO_Number_Fld.Text,
Comments: Photo_Screen_Comment_Fld.Text
}
)
);

What formula do I add to save the collection to the SP Library?

This is the flow I currently have in the 'Save to SP List' button -
UploadJobPhotosFlow.Run(Photo_Screen_Location_Fld.Text,
Photo_Screen_Image_Dropdown.Selected.Value,
Photo_Screen_WO_Number_Fld.Text,
Photo_Screen_Work_Date_Fld.Text,
Photo_Screen_Invoice_Type_Fld.Text,
Photo_Screen_Location_Fld.Text,
Photo_Screen_Comment_Fld.Text,
{
file: {
contentBytes: Photo_Screen_Gallery_Image.Image,
name: Photo_Screen_Location_Fld.Text & " - " & Photo_Screen_Invoice_Type_Fld.Text & " - " & Photo_Screen_Image_Dropdown.Selected.Value & " - " & Photo_Screen_WO_Number_Fld.Text & " - " & Photo_Screen_Work_Date_Fld.Text & ".jpg"
}
}
);
