Send attachments to SharePoint List using Canvas App - Can anyone help?

[ianallen13]

Hello, 

I've watched a few videos on how to do this and feel like I'm close, but just cannot get this to work.  I have a CANVAS app and I borrowed an attachment control and all I want to do is have someone fill out some fields (i.e. Name, department, etc.) and then have the ability to add an attachment or two, and then hit submit and send the information AS WELL AS the attachments to a SharePoint List.  

I know that a list by itself has as 'add attachment' feature, so I know that attachments can live in the record, but has anyone done this or have any assistance they can provide?  

Here is the code that I have so far: 

GTE AttachmentFlow is the name of the workflow I built for the attachments, but when I continue to add the fields and everything, it is asking for two titles for some reason?  Why is that?  I don't have two titles in my SP list.

Hi @ianallen13 ,

If you would like to create new/update items in a SharePoint list, you can simply leverage the Edit form control, flow is unnecessary. Edit form Control includes Attachments control when Attachments field is selected to display in the form. With a Button OnSelect set to SubmitForm(EditFormName), everything in the form will be populated/updated to the list according to the Mode of the form (New or Display).

Hi @ianallen13 ,

The approach you are using currently is for creating files in SharePoint library. To create new entries with attachments in SharePoint list, an Edit form in New mode is very simple and enough.

Hello Jeffer Ni, 

No, I meant a SP list, not a library.  It's okay though, I already figured out how to get it to submit attachments via a Canvas app.  All good.  Thank you for the response.
