PowerApps Attachment file names to Sharepoint

[kbailey]

Hi. I am using the attachment column from a Sharepoint list into my PowerApp. When testing the app, I take/add multiple photos to the attachment section. However, when I do this every photo is named "image" and when I submit the form, the Sharepoint list will only show me one out of three that I uploaded because all three have the same name. How can I get my live photo upload file names to build off each other? For instance, "image" "image1" "image2" etc... I would prefer if the user does not have to manually do this, if I could code something somewhere to where it can name the different photos based on upload time that would be great. Thanks!

HI @kbailey ,

Attachments controls uploads should use the current file name of the item selected. How are you uploading them?

I am taking a photo and clicking "use photo" and if I take multiple photos it labels my uploads all under the name "image"

@kbailey ,

Is this on a mobile device ? If so I am not aware of any solution as the naming is in the control of the device.

Hi @kbailey ,

Do you want to add multiple photos taken from your phone via Flow to the Attachments column in SharePoint List? I have made a test for your reference.

1. Here is my Flow.

2. Add a Camera Control to the Form and apply the following formula on its OnSelect property as:

Collect(colimages,{PhotoName:Text(Now(),LongDateTime)&".jpg",PhotoValue:Substitute(Last(Split(JSON(Camera1.Photo,JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData),"base64,")).Result,"""","")});

3. Select the Form and apply the following formula on its OnSuccess property as:

Set(itemid,Form2.LastSubmit.ID);
ForAll(colimages,CameratoSP.Run(itemid,PhotoName,PhotoValue))
