What is the best way how to make form which store data in more than one list/ library?
Hi,
I'm novic app developer for SharePoint online. I use office 365 licence.
Now, I need to decide, what is the best way how to make form for SharePoint, which could store data/information into more than one SharePoint list/ library.
Business case:
I have SP list named Orders and 3 libraries. In Orders are 3 look-up columns referring to the libraries (so document must be stored before I want to save/ create new order).
But now I need to make form which could be store documents from Order form into compenent libraries.
Thanks for advices.

TomasG Hi there! I'm not exactly sure I understand the complexity of your requirement. However, I have created forms where -- when you create your record, you can include attachments, then when you save the record the attachments are moved into a specific document library. Then, I later filter the documents to display them on another screen within the PowerApp.
Here is the discussion and link to April Dunham's tutorial on moving attachments.

Hi, jcgonzalezmartin
of course, I'm open to all possibilities. If I can ask, have you ever found a similar problem in the community or somewhere on the web?
Thanks.
