Disable Attachments beginning with "Reserved" in Attachment control

Posted on by Adam9595

Hello everyone,

I am using an attachment DataCard and AddMedia control in my PowerApp, which accesses my 'A3 Report Backend' database. When I add and upload a new image using the AddMedia control, the image appears with its filename (starting with "Reserved") in the attachment list as well, since images are also included there.

For the user, it can be very confusing to see the image filenames in the attachment list after each image update. Is there a way to prevent these images from appearing in the attachment list after updating the images in the AddMedia control? My goal is to hide all attachments that start with the filename "Reserved...".

Using the following syntax:

I only display or make visible the entries that do not start with "Reserved". However, I still have the problem that I cannot download the attachments anymore. Downloading the attachments works when Parent.Default is set in the Items property.

Is there a way to combine this?

I am grateful for any help.

Thank you.

Would it be an idea to make your filter optional with a toggle?
so you could add the toggle just above your attachments overview, set the standard of the toggle to “true” and then change your Items to:

If(Toggle.Value=true, Parent.Default,Filter(ThisItem.Anlagen;Not(StartsWith(DisplayName;”Reserved”))))

Hello RogierE,
Thank you for your message. I don't think I will make progress with your syntax. When the toggle is active, THEN Parent.Default, OTHERWISE Filter(.....). I want to combine both functions and not display them separately.

Best regards, Adam

I’m sorry. I might have the wrong understanding of your requirement. Is it that the pictures in files with “reserved” should not be visible to the user but should be downloadable by you? Or is it that as a consequence of filtering you can no longer download any of the attachments, also the visible ones that do not start with “reserved” ? (Or is it something else even ? ☺️)

Hi @RogierE ,

thanks for your message. Indeed, I meant that i want to set a filter on the attachment control elements so that i can only filter the attachments that do not begin with "Reserved..." Additionally, the display attachment should be downloadable.

Best regards,
Adam
