Hello! Is there any possibility to have several columns for attachments, not just a staple in the left side?
I need to name this separate columns to see if a row is filed with all required attachments or not.
Hi,
Unfortunately, it's not possible to have multiple attachment columns at the moment, but it's a great idea!
Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.
A possible workaround could be to use checkboxes that indicate what attachments have been added and to see if all required attachments are included.
Would that work?
Have a fantastic day!
Best,

I second Andree's suggestion. I use the same thing for quite a few of my tracking sheets.
You might also consider linking to documents stored in outside systems like Dropbox or Google Drive. And require them to put a link to a shared file for each individual item you need attached.
Yes, of course, but this solution is not for busy work.
For personal use it could help.
I second this request! We would like to have an attachment column that is accessible for anyone shared to the sheet, and an additional column that is accessible by permission only (for private documentation).
Thank you,
Pam

Is anyone else experiencing this issue today (7/28/2026)? Every time an automated email triggers on its own today, whether it's a regular alert, update request, etc, the values that usually appear when the automation workflow includes a field in curly brackets (ex: {{First Name}}) appears as a weird alphanumeric value in…
Hi - Is anyone else having problems with placeholder fields in update request automations today? I've been notified by my staff that our automations today are showing random text strings instead of the field data that they are supposed to. For example, in one of my sheets, there's an automations thatis supposed to show a…
