Form display in PowerApps with Attachments

[AstridP]

Hi,

I have build a PowerApps based on 2 SharePoint lists.

I use a Gallery to display the 1st SharePoint list which works fine.

When I select a record I wanted to show in a ViewForm the fields of the 2nd SharePoint list where I am especially interested in the attachments.

I use the following function for the form: LookUp(2nd SharPoint list datasource;Titel=GalleryRequests.Selected.'Name (Title)';Name of field to be displayed) where 'Name (Title)' is the matching title/ID for both SharePoint lists which works fine when I use a Gallery instead of a ViewForm

When running the app the form always states "no elements to be displayed"

What is wrong with the form?

Hi @AstridP,

You may need to check the DataSource item of the form to make sure it references the second SP list. 

Also, it is not clear to me if you are selecting the Name column in your LookUp or not. The LookUp should look like:

LookUp(
   '2nd SharPoint list datasource';
   Titel = GalleryRequests.Selected.'Name (Title)'
)

Hi @BCBuizer 

wow, yes I forgot to connect the Form at the FormViewer Header to the SP list2...
It connects now and shows other items properly.

However the attached files stored in the SP list2 are still not visible....it states nothing has been found

Hi @AstridP ,

The form should show any attachments that are attached to items in List2. Can you confirm that's the case and you have verified that the item you select in the gallery (List1) has a corresponding item in List2 with attachments?

In case the attachments are not in List2, where are they stored?

Hi @BCBuizer 

thank you for your support.

The Form connects properly to the 2nd SP list

and the SP2 looks like as follows:

Hi @AstridP ,

Can you try removing the attachments data card and then add it back?

Hi @BCBuizer 

I removed the datacard and re-added it. Did not work....

I created a new ViewForm....still not able to see the attachments..

HI @AstridP ,

Can you please share the Item and DataSource properties of the form?

Hi @BCBuizer 

Thank you so much for your support. I finally managed to sort it out. It is working now.
