Saving Images to sharepoint

[Anonymous]

Hi, 

I have been trying to figure out how to save captured images from powerapps into my share point list. 

I have set up my camera and a button that captures the image. I wanted to be able to view my images in powerapps so I set up a gallery and form. But for some reason each image after the first one comes out blank, and not sure why. 

In my SP List I set up the image column as a multi-line column. Can someone please let me know if this isn't working because it's not possible or because I must have something wrong. Please see attached as to how my gallery and form look and my share point list.

Hi @Anonymous ,

How do you save the Captured Image data from your app to your SP List? Could you please share a bit more about the formula?

Could you please share a bit more about the ImageData column in your SP list? Is it a Multiple-line Text type column in your SP list?

I assume that the ImageData column is a Multiple-line Text type column in your SP list, is it true? Based on the issue that you mentioned, I think there is something issue with the formula you used to save captured images from your app to your flow.

I have made a test on my side, please take a try with the following workaround:

Within the screen1, set the OnSelect property of the Camera control to following:

Collect(ImagesCollection, {PicName: "Captured Pic-"&Now(), PicContent: Camera1.Photo})

Note: Please use the OnSelect property of the Camera control to capture pictures rather than add another button to capture pics. If you use another button control to capture the pictures taken by Camera control, the captured image collection would include a blank value.

Set the OnSelect property of the "Upload to SP List" button to following:

ForAll(ImagesCollection, Patch('20190617_case14', Defaults('20190617_case14'),{Title: PicName, ImageData: PicContent}))

on your side, you should type following:

ForAll(
       ImagesCollection, 
       Patch(
             'YourSPList', 
              Defaults('YourSPList'),
              {
               Title: PicName, 
               ImageData: PicContent
              }
      )
)

The data structure of my SP list as below:

Please consider take a try with above solution, then check if the issue is solved.

Hi @v-xida-msft,

Great post, but is there a way to actually display the image in SharePoint?

Thanks,
