Hi Reza. This video, just like your others, is amazing. I'm having problems with the OnSelect function of the camera (12:17) I copy the code you have used: et( varName, GUID() ); Collect( colImages, { DisplayName: varName & ".jpg" Id:varName & ".jpg" Value(Camera.Photo } ); The only thing that doesn't work is 'ColImages' Is this making reference back to an item in the app or sharepoint that you have created?

Hi Reza, thank you again for this video. This adds great functionality to the app I've created. Do you know of any changes with the web editor that would prevent the attachments from updating? I've started experiencing an issue where I can add photos with your design but it absolutely will not remove photos from SharePoint after deleting them from the collection after submitting the form. This started with no changes on my part to the design you showcased, now I'm stuck trying to find a way to update the attachment separately from the SubmitForm function. Can the attachments be patched independently in addition to submitting the form?

Many thanks for your video, Reza. The limit capacity of attachment files for a SharePoint list is 250MB (as per MS document), it isn't enough for an simple app like IT inventory - for example. Maybe decreasing image quality to save file size is the short term solution.

True on the attachments size limit. Those limits are further reduced when working with Power Apps. Better solution would be to use a document library to store the related files in IT Inventory tracking scenarios.

Hello, I followed the steps to take the photos, I put the formula that you mention at min 10:56 but when I use the camera it does not take the photo, What did I do wrong :(

[@RezaDorrani]

For that I would have to look at your App in action. I did a recent video on this feature (link to download app in video description). Give that a try kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnqbpJSMjap3e5Y

Hi Reza, can you guide on how to set image id to respecting variable name that appears in the lists?

[@RezaDorrani]

That involves renaming of attachment file. I did a recent video on renaming attach file. Check kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnu0m3p7YtSIpq8

Awesome Work Reza thanks a million for sharing, I tried everything and it was good at the begining but then I got some trouble, my edit form when I try to save it does not save the pictures, also how can I add the gallery at the bottom of the form to see the pictures

[@peterandbridgetchambers6785]

Thank you for this video. Your video has a lot to it! My problem is that I can't use the formula for the image on the Browse screen. I think that what has happened is my browse screen is based on a collection and I think collections can't hold attachments. Am I close or am I way off base. I managed to take a photo and save it to attachments but I'm having trouble retrieving it! Any thoughts would be most welcome

[@RezaDorrani]

Collections cannot hold attachments.

[@learneng9000]

thank u for this video, however, I am struggling to take a photo and ad title and description fields to it. if you can make a video on that pls. it s similar to the last part of your video but did not work with me for some reason. pls make a simple video on take a photo and add a title and description field ( gallery maybe)

[@RezaDorrani]

The concept in this video is to save images as list item attachments. There is no option for adding image metadata. For that you would need to store the images in a document library and associate it with your main list item. Check this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGS4dGaKgr2boqs You will need to use a mixture of the concepts shown in this video and the one linked in this reponse.

[@jocsanvargas1894]

Thanks a lot for the video content. ¿Could you please tell me if we can remove pictures? after submit, on edit mode.

[@RezaDorrani]

Pictures removed or replaced is not supported with this technique. For that you may want to showcase the attachments control so the user can directly work with that.

[@jocsanvargas1894]

Got it, thanks for quickly answer.

[@marjy23]

Hi Reza. Great video as always. I'm having trouble though...when I ClearCollect the collection with the existing item attachments (15:53) the collection is always empty even though I have 3 images in the Attachments of that selected item. Any thoughts? Thank you

Hi great video and really helpful. Was wondering if I created a Power BI report and connected it to my sharepoint list to display results from my form submissions can I also display the attachment photos in Power BI at all?

Hello Mr Doranni, I have a question about the submit button. I cannot find in this video how you patch the collection table the images (value column) to the attachments. Can you briefly answer this?

[@RezaDorrani]

I did this video years ago and do not remember the specifics or any follow up video on it.

[@paulrodrigues2326]

Thank you Reza - very helpful. I have built an app very similar to this using the camera control as well as the attachment control for images that may be already stored on the end users mobile device (specifically IOS devices). The only issue - allow for multiple images to be selected in the camera roll. The users need to select the individual image, tap add attachment, select the next individual image, etc. Is there a way to select multiple ? Thanks again!

[@RezaDorrani]

I don’t think there is a way to select multiple.

[@RezaDorrani]

Yes, as long as it connects to the same data source.

[@florianterrol4410]

Great tutorial, easy to follow and really effective. Is there a way to get all pictures attached in the sharepoint list to the document section of sharepoint site? Or to download automatically all pictures attached in the sharepoint list?

[@RezaDorrani]

I do not have a video reference on download scenario. List item attachments and document libraries are 2 different things. I don’t believe there is any option to download all pictures in one go. Il recommend checking on forums in case someone has done something similar powerusers.microsoft.com

[@dpo4753]

Thank you for the tutorial! You explained it so good. I have one question: is it possible to sent the captured photos directly as an e-mail?

[@MichaelSchillo]

Hey Reza! can't tell you how much you have helped me over the past couple of years in my power apps journey. You have a unique way of taking an idea, and adding a real world application to it. The one thing I am having a problem with is patching the data into SharePoint. I can capture the pictures, and view my collection in the variables, and see the Display name and ID, but when I try to patch, I get a network error, and says there is no ID. I know I am missing something, (probably something basic), but not sure what it is?

Can this be done using Media instead of Camera? the Camera tool does not get high enough resolution for our needs. I would need exactly this capturing images through media on an iPhone.

[@RezaDorrani]

Possible. You would need to create the collection schema similar to the one showcased in the video.

[@lasandrafernandes3045]

Hi Reza. Your video was really helpful. I wanted to know if there's any way in which I can select an image from the gallery and delete it?

Good morning, first of all, thank you for the very helpful tutorial... Unfortunately, I'm missing a step and I can't figure it out. Once I've taken the pictures, I don't know how to update the record on SharePoint, a record that will later be displayed in the selection menu (the keyboard, the lawn, etc., etc.). Thank you very much for any help!!!

[@RezaDorrani]

Its a form control. Once you submit form it will add or update record depending upon form mode. I have done several videos on form control. I would also recommend posting your query on forums with screenshots powerusers.microsoft.com

[@virgilparjea6846]

Hi Reza, can you tell me what code you've put in the "Submit" button ? Because I've put the "SubmitForm(Form2)" but it doesn't put the images in the SP list attachment, it's empty. Or better yet could you share your app without the PDF flows ? I can't seem to get passed them when I do the import app.

Hi reza! this does exactly what I need! thanks for this great video man! I would also need the pictures to get saved to the camera roll when using the camera control, but I can't get that to happen. I did use this app on an LG phone and they do get saved to the phone's local camera roll by default when I take them, but this doesn't happen with Iphones or Samsung phones. Would you happen to know why this doesn't happen or of a way to achieve it? Thanks!

Thanks Reza, that was really helpful. I am wondering if it is possible to also delete photos/attachments from the collection as well? For example the user took the wrong pic or it was out of focus but they submitted it anyway and wanted to correct it afterwards. I can get the photos to delete on the edit form, but the attachments stay the same. Thanks.

[@RezaDorrani]

This technique does not support deletion of attachments. For that, you would need to expose the hidden attachments control so users can directly delete from there.

Possible. Just use the naming standard of your choice.

Did you find any solution for this, even I am struggling the same, I am able to change the display name convention but I want to have names like something similar to this if I take 3 pictures wanted to name them as pic1, pic2, pic3. There is way to change the display name to picture but when we click the 3 pics it is giving the same and getting saved only1 as remaing2 treats as duplicates not sure how to overcome this

OnVisible of the PhotoScreen set a variable like Set(varIncrement;0) Add the variable in the title name, e.g. Displayname: "myTitle_" & "varIncrement" & ".jpg". after the collect, add ;;Set(varIncrement; varIncrement +1) works for me
