Power Apps Attachment Control

[karenlacey]

Hi all, I followed Reza Dorrani's tutorial to add tagging to attachments. (16) Power Apps Attachment Control Tutorial | Multiple Attachment Controls | Tag SharePoint attachme... 

It all works but I need to include a timestamp. I inserted Now() but it isn't showing in the display areas. Any ideas? 

If( frmPropertyProposalForm.Mode = FormMode.View,

Filter(

colAttachments,

drpAttachTag.Selected.Value = "All"

|| StartsWith

( DisplayName,

drpAttachTag.Selected.Value & "-" & Now()

)

), colAttachments )

Hello @karenlacey Preview

Convert your "Now()" code to a string format.

Text(Now(),"ddmmmyyyhhmmss")

Final code should be something like 

If( frmPropertyProposalForm.Mode = FormMode.View,
Filter(
colAttachments,
drpAttachTag.Selected.Value = "All"
|| StartsWith
( DisplayName,
drpAttachTag.Selected.Value & "-" & Text(Now(),"ddmmmyyyhhmmss")
)
), colAttachments )

Hi, thank you for the response. I tried this but it hasn't added any timestamp. By adding that code it has also impacted the ability to filter by tag. Any other ideas?

Hello @karenlacey 

Sorry, I had the wrong assumption with the first code. Please keep the previous code to make your filter work.

May I know

(1) Is the timestamp that you need the "time" when user clicks submit? or when a photo is being selected for upload?

(2) Where in your form would you like the timestamp displayed?

Can you please show me your OnAddFile Property? Something similar below

Thank you for the quick response, ideally when the attachment is uploaded, I would like the timestamp to appear beside it, so have the tag, file name, timestamp in the attachments window

This is my code in the OnAddFile section

ClearCollect(
colAttachments,
Self.Attachments
);
UpdateIf(
colAttachments,
!(First(
Split(
DisplayName,
"-"
)
).Result in colAttachTags),
{
Name: drpAttachTag.Selected.Value & "-" & Name,
DisplayName: drpAttachTag.Selected.Value & "-" & DisplayName
}
)
