Attachment Control not working anymore?

My use case is to be able to provide a button that allows the user to select a file from the system and upload the file to be passed as a parameter to a Power Automate flow. The focus of this post is on the upload part. 
 
It is known that the Attachment Control in Power Apps exists only within a Form Control. For the longest time, I have been able to follow this tutorial (link) and copy the Attachment Control from a dummy form and then delete the original form.
 
However, when I tried to do it today, copying the Attachment control does not work anymore. It copies the control, but I don't get the option to select a file from my system. It only shows "No files selected". 
 
I'm looking forward to understanding what a sustainable long-term solution to this could be.

    1. Copy from a classic form not a modern form
    2. Resolve the errors:
     - BorderColor: If(IsBlank(Parent.Error), Parent.BorderColor, Color.Red)
       Change to: Color.Black
     
    - Items: Parent.Default
     Delete Parent.Default
     
    - Tooltip: Parent.DisplayName
      Change to ""
     
    - DisplayMode: Parent.DisplayMode
      Change to DisplayMode.Edit
     
    3. Try it out
     
    I just tried it on a brand new blank screen and it works fine
