Hi,

When creating a new location record, I cannot attach an image at that step. I can only attach the image after the record is created. How can I enable image upload during the creation of a new location record?

Hi @HH-22080318-0,

Before you can upload an image or file to a Dataverse column, the record must already exist. This isn’t a setting you can enable or disable.

A good approach is to create a JavaScript function. With client-side JavaScript, you can automatically save a record when a field changes. For your case, you can attach the function to the LocationName field. When the value changes, the record will be saved automatically, and then you’ll be able to upload an image or file without manually saving first.

Here’s an example you can use:

function autoSaveOnLocationChange(executionContext) { var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); formContext.data.entity.save(); }

Add this function to a JavaScript web resource in your solution.

Then register it on the OnChange event of the LocationName field.

Each time the field changes, the record will automatically save.

Microsoft provides detailed documentation on form events: Learn Documentation

You can create and edit the JavaScript file using Visual Studio Code and then add it to your solution in Power Apps.
