Multiple files with Custom field
April 03, 2013, 02:48:54 am
Hi

is there a way to allow multiple attachments for a person.

I know that I can use a custom field with type "File" but that allows me to upload exactly one file.  Of course I could add more custom fields but an option "more attachments" would be awesome (exactly like the "Attachments and other options" here in the forum)

thanks werner

You could make the custom set repeatable (only available if you add a custom set to all contacts or a contact (sub) type. The question 'Does this Custom Field Set allow multiple records?'will appear), and then add a custom field to hold an attachment? I assume you want to add the attachment to the person, not necessarily to a specific action (like email).
