multiple photo attachments in forms

Robin Thomas

I created a form and the first couple of times we tested it we were able to add multiple photos using the "Take Photo or Video" option. I have since discovered that this only works with some devices (all iPhones with latest iOS). It looks like it names them all "image.jpg" so the form thinks the attachment is already there. Is there a setting in forms or a setting on an "iDevice" that will name each pic differently?

Thanks for any help you can provide!!

Hi Robin,

Not sure I follow!

If I take multiple pictures on an iPhone, the pictures are named Image and the date and time, and there is also a way to rename them.

Would that work?

Hope that helps!

Have a fantastic day!

I'm taking pictures directly in the form and as far as i can tell they don't reside on the iPhone at all. I realize I could take the pics and then transfer them but I am trying to make form completion as easy and quick as possible. (Screenshots of taking first pic and after taking second pic).

If this hadn't worked for me multiple times before, I would just forget it

Ok.

Unfortunately, I don't have any better solution than to take the pictures and then add them.

I'll get back to you if I think of something else.

Is there a limit on attachments to the forms?

Hi @fmartinez

I hope you're well and safe!

Yes, it's ten files per form submission.

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

Thank you, Andree! Is there a way to add more files to the form? Have a great weekend

Happy to help!

Unfortunately, there isn't a way to add more than ten, but as a workaround, you could have another form load so they could add more files to another row.

Make sense?

Would that work/help?
