Hey Shane Thanks for your tip! FWIW, I found something else that might be slightly easier to implement (depends on final use case of course). It is somehow similar to what Dainius commented earlier, but here are my steps: 1. In your SharePoint list, simply create a multiline plain text column that is supposed to host your text and screenshots 2. Customize the list form using PowerApps 3. Select the SharePoint field from the datacard that is automatically created, then change the control type to "Edit rich text", save, and go back to SharePoint Now you can make screenshots and paste them in the form. The full html snippet is saved in the list, however it renders correctly once you open the customized form in SharePoint. I have not tried it, but via JSON formatting it might be possible to automatically render the HTML text into a picture.
Love your work Shane. If you don't mind having ugly HTML in Sharepoint and only want to view the HTML in PowerApps, do just a fraction of what you had to do here, and declare the sharepoint field as Multi-line and Plain Text (not rich text). Then when you save the HTMLText to Sharepoint it does not drop the images - it is just text, DIVs, base64 nonsense and all. PowerApps will happily display this as HTML ;-)
Thank you for this! With this I was finally been able to figure out how to save multiple screenshots to rich text field at the same time. Keep up the great work!!
Thank you Shane Young. I was working around the rich text editor about a month ago. I noticed that if you leave your multi line of text as plain text in SharePoint. It will display the image in PowerApps. The present limitation I see is converting to pdf. When using rich text editor in a form mode
I wonder how can Microsoft not have this feature inbuild! Something so basic a rich text with image upload. But you have done a fantastic job here. Thanks to all your hard work and the video. You have a new subscriber😊!
What I would do here is save the base64 code in another multiline field inside a div tag. Then in PowerApps, I would use Rich Text Editor control to view that field in image format.
Great video Shane, I had a request to add screenshots from an Approval item in Teams, so added a link to the SharePoint item in the approval, and then edited the Forms from SharePoint in Power Apps by using your idea, except I created a generic form that receives the SharePoint List parameters and saves the base64 as an attachment to the approval list item. Works great. (Except for the attachments that do not refresh...) Thanks again.
Thank you so much for this video . can you please explain this process from the begening how you embed the html text with rich editor .. it will helpfull for the beginners to understand more clearly.
Can you please also show the end result by demoing creating a new entry in the SharePoint list’s default form that will automate this as you showed for the problem in the beginning
In my testing I thought I got that working because the Split pulled them out as a table and handled each, but it has been a long time so not 100% sure.
@Shane Young. Thanks for the video. I have a scenario where I have a image field in SharePoint list. I would like to use a collection of images reading from the SharePoint list an be able to patch into this collection. I also need to patch a specific record in SharePoint list on the image field from one of the records in the collection. I couldn't find a way to do it. Any hints or video on how to solve such scenario ?
hello Shane, this might be a stupid question but I am a newbie and no expert in programming... why is the Find function favored over the split function to store the b64 image in a variable? thank you very much!
Thank you Shane, nice job again. For me this works with Base64. I used multiline column in SharePoint list, then I used RichText editor in the form and DataCard value of this column in the form is RichTextEditor.HtmlText. Then in the screen I have a separate RichTextEditor whith value is a LookUp to this Multiline column and I have pictures in this RichTextEditor which were saved on SubmitForm action. One minus of this I can't put this list to a Collection as it kills all the App. Only one LookUp in the Screen works with this. But it works
Thanks Adi! I agree. Hopefully nothing changes anytime soon. Nothing worse than a video that becomes irrelevant the next week. 😂 Hope you are doing well!
@@ShanesCows Not going to be irrelevant, just +1. All good this side of the pond, hope I can get to the next Office Hours session miss them, they are a lot of fun
@@ShanesCows you mention that we can find the details of the flow (min 6 of The video) in another of your videos but I don’t find it… many thanks for your help.
Hi Shane, Thanks for providing this I just got asked if this was possible in a PowerApps I am developing. My only question is what would be the best way to delete the image if the user decides they don't want it. I assume this would not be as difficult. If you can provide a snippet or guidance on this that would be great. Thanks!
Can you follow up with a scenario if we post multiple text and multiple images in one rich text box? I figured there would be a for loop in there somewhere but I'm wondering if you have a solution in mind already?
I've been working on RichText for writing report with images, your code is great just not flexible and freely to paste image. My way is simpler and more flexible, I just send any and many images I want to my Kaizala message account (send to myself), then I open Kaizala Web, it has option to copy the image from message and the image is ready url, control V in the RichText it is save-able, even I delete the image from Kaizala, image in the save record won't be deleted.
Hi Shane, thanks for all your videos! I've gone from never having used SharePoint to creating apps in under 3 months thanks to you! I have a question - I'm creating a sort of ticketing app to manage requests... people tend to drag & drop or paste screenshots into the "Issue Description" field which uses a rich text editor. I had set my form submit button's OnSelect property to: "SubmitForm(SubmitNewTicketForm); ResetForm(SubmitNewTicketForm); Navigate(ConfirmSubmitScreen,BorderStyle.None)"... I'm not sure how to tie this in with the save button's OnSelect property. I also got stuck on "Gallery1.Selected" as my SubmitNewTicketForm is on a screen which doesn't have a gallery... so it's the current "new" record as opposed to an "existing" selected one. Would you have a few moments to give me a couple of pointers?
Hi Shane! I have been following your videos and noticed that in my PowerApps the functions used ";" instead of "," , do you know how to change it? Thanks in advance !
Erik I talked about it in the video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GAdnURx5g8g.html and then that video inspired this one where I talked more to my international friends. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gJMgOlDy34w.html Hope they help you!
Hey Shane I am trying to add the values of a Combo-Box and text box to a Rich Text Editor based on the users selection. I added the line of code below to the Default attribute of the Rich Text Editor which works, but when the users select a new selection from the combo-box drop down, it deletes other lines of text i added. Concat(Dropdowntextphase9.SelectedItems.Value,Value &""))
