ADD ATTACHMENT IN GALLERY CONTROL

[Athirah]

Dear Expertise, 

I want to save attachments from the gallery (To save attachments from the UI of PowerApps to particular item on SharePoint List). What should be my approach and the code? As you can see below, I have taken the attachment control from the form and pasted on the gallery, not sure how to save data through it. Is it possible to do it? Or is there any generic way to do it? Please suggest.

Here is the code on OnSelect properties for my Submit button.

Can someone provide me guidance/help on this? Please share screenshots as i'm a beginner on PowerApps.

Thank you in advance,

Athirah

Hi @Athirah <

The only two ways of saving attachments are SubmitForm() from a form or via Power Automate. You cannot save them from a re-purposed attachment control in a gallery.

Hi @Athirah :

Do you want to add attachments through Gallery?

If so,this is impossible in theory, but I have a alternative solution.

The main point of this solution is to submit attachments through an invisible form. I've made a test for your reference:

1\My data source:

2\Add an edit form control(Form1)

DataSource

BookLog

Item

Gallery4.Selected /*I'll create Gallery4 later*/

3\Add a gallery control 

Items 

BookLog

4\Unlock Form1's Attachment data card and copy the Attachment control(DataCardValue3) into Gallery4(DataCardValue3_1)

5\Set DataCardValue3_1

Items

ThisItem.Attachments

OnAddFile

ClearCollect(TheActh,Self.Attachments);SubmitForm(Form1);  /*TheActh is my custom variable*/

6\Set DataCardValue3 (which in form1) 's Items property to

TheActh

7\Set Form1‘s Visible property to 

false

Best Regards,

Bof

Just wondering is there a way to get onremovefile to work? I’m struggling with that.

Hi @v-bofeng-msft , 

Do you know how I can delete a file?

The only way I can think of is deleting all attachments first, via power automate, then using submit form.
