Hi @kbpartha24 ,

Sorry but so far it is not available to use Patch to add the attachments from one entity to another. Usually, when using Patch to add attachment, there is one workaround that is to use the an edit form to only have the attachment data card, and use "EditForm1.Updates" in Patch function to achieve this. Formula would be something like:

Patch(
   'xxx',
    Defaults('xxx'),
    {
      Column1:TextInput1.Text,
      Column2:TextInput2.Text,
      Column3:TextInput3.Text,
      ...,
      ColumnN:TextInputN.Text
    },
    EditForm1.Updates
)

But this requires that the EditForm1 has the same data source as the one you patch to. Since you are trying to move the attachment from one data source to another, this cannot achieve what you need.

Please consider to add an idea if you need this feature:
