Attaching multiple files to a record : I am trying to build a travel app. I have one row for my flight and have 8 travelers. Just checked them all in and wanted to attach
all 8 boarding passes pdf to that record. It seems only 1 file is allowed to be attached to a record. Is there any other way to build this use case except having to build 8 different records.?
This sounds odd. Why couldnโt you have eight different columns and one file in each?
@Vishal_Dhingra You could have a single โparentโ record for the trip, which as a collection of โchildโ records. You could then send multiple pdfs based on each of the related child records.
Try running your app in the Browser version on your Andriod phone and see if you can open your files that way.
Iโve seen a couple things work differently/better in the Browser on my phone.
Might seem like a hassle, or maybe itโs easier to make a shortcut right to the Browser View that you need most if it will work like you want.
@Stephen_Mattison Because you never know how many attachments you might need for each record.
Thanks @tony but it is additional management of table/columns for managing just attachments. However, this seems to be a logical step if no other option is available.
Oh, OK.
The way you explained it, it sounded that you only had 8 boarding passes or โfilesโ that you needed to track.
If youโll have several files/passes for each traveler, maybe for a multi-stop trip, then yes, youโll need to use the Parent-Child setup.
If youโre just getting into this you should check out the Order Capture Appsheet Sample App, or maybe better for your App the Trip Log Example App.
Dear @Stephen_Mattison Can you point me to the trip log example app. I am unable to find it in the sample apps. Thanks,

@Stephen_Mattison Thanks for sharing. Appreciate it.
@Vishal_Dhingra YVW!
Please add a nice Profile Image so we know that you are not a Robot, TY!
HAHA jk,nr
Iโve been planning a travel app of my own, would love to hear more about what you come up with!
TY & Good Luck!
@Stephen_Mattison@tony As an alternative for now I have zipped all the files and attached the one single zip file to the record. unfortunately, I am unable to open the zip file in android phone. However, if I connect from laptop, then the zip file is downloaded and I can extract the data. I guess the app is not identifying the zip file as it gives an extension of .jpg to the file.
I know itโs an old topic.
But wouldnโt be great if user can multi-select files for upload, then they all get uploaded in the specified folder.
The filed would then be a link to that folder where the users only have read only access.
Just thinking out loud.
