Hello Folks,

I have an attachment data card within the form that has the formulas below

Gallery1.Selected.Attachments

I also have a button to submit the form, but for some reason is not uploading the attachment. The gallery1 has an attachment and I want to mirror this attachment to a separate form so I can upload the same attachment to another SP list.

Anyone knows why is not uploading the attachment despite the gallery has an attachment?

yes is the correct gallery and item property is set as gallery.selected.attachment. I even see the filename in the attachment control and it will open the PDF file on a browser when I click on it but is not uploading the attachment. I have a button that has the value SubmitForm to submit the form. All fields submitted except the attachment datacard is uploading the attachment to the sharepoint list.

Hi @ntt56k4 ,

The reason is you will not be able to get the real file from Gallery.Selected.Attachments, in the Attachment control it would only display the file but without file actual value.

To achieve your need, you will have to work with Power Automate. Please refer to below thread:

https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General-Power-Automate/Copy-attachments-from-one-SharePoint-list-to-another-list/td-p/90247

Steps:

1\ Create a Power Automate flow that copy attachments from the item selected in the Gallery.

2\ OnSelect of the submit button run the flow and passing the item ID as a parameter in the flow.

Hope this helps.
