Thank you very much Sudharsan K 

 

The challenge I have is that List A doesn't have the attachment I need in List B. The only thing I get from List A is the ID, so that I can relate items in List B (Primary and Foreign Keys).

 

In the "For a selected Item" action, I ask the user to give me new information: an Update (text), and an attachment (file). 

 

I then create variables to use a) the text I get for the update, and b) the ID from List A, that I also use as a reference in List B. I haven't been able to use the input I get for file (Attachment (optional)).

 

If I understand the use of "Get attachments" correctly, that action helps me get attachments from a list. However, I'm not trying to use attachments from the list, but the brand new file the user gives me through "For a selected item". This is the screen the user gets to provide the new input. The file in that new input is the challenge. I haven't understood how to use it and save it in List B.

 

 

Thank you for your help.
