I am currently struggling to get attachments to display properly in my application. I have a form that shows specific entry results and a separate list underneath it in the module. That list exists purely to show attachments. Since for some baffling reason you cannot have multiple attachments on a single record, I had to create a separate table for attachments and link everything together with connections.
I have actually got it working, but it looks awful. It only shows a button that says preview file. When the user clicks it, the PDF or whatever else is stored will open, but I want the actual file name to appear. Users need to know whether it is worth clicking before they open it. At the moment it is just a generic button. I have spent the past hour and a half going back and forth with AI trying to get a simple file name to appear for each attachment. It suggested using formulas to extract the file name from the file column. That does not work either.
I really do not want a row of identical buttons that all say the same thing when each attachment has its own unique name. I feel like I must be missing something.
For complete clarity, I am testing this on the trial. I am considering recommending this platform to our organisation to pay for, because it could help us solve a long standing problem. I have already hit several stumbling blocks, and issues like this genuinely risk breaking the deal. Our current system may be clunky, but it does display multiple attachments clearly and shows the file names for easy access.
