Can I upload a photo in a cell rather than as attachment when I use a form from iPhone?

Andrea Vecchi

We use forms to carry out quality audit at site. When I use the form on my iphone I can add a photo as attachment. Instead I would love to add the photo in a cell so that I can see the photo in the sheet rather than having to open the attachment. How can I do it?

Hi Andrea,

Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment in a form to attach to cells, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment

As a possible workaround, you could use the sheet and open the row, and that would look similar to the form. 

Another option could be to have a sheet formatted with the same columns as the form and then add rows to that sheet and use the automation to copy/move the row to the main sheet.

Would any of those options work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Unfortunately, it will not move the attachments to the cells.

Hi Andrée thanks a lot for the reply. I have submitted an enhancement request as suggested.

With regards to the suggestion of using the copy row automation, will that allow to move the photo from the attachment to a cell?
