Multi File Field

The Multi File field works and behaves almost identically to the File Field, but with some exceptions:

  1. You can upload multiple files in one in field.

  2. It is not possible to use the webcam.

  3. The files get uploaded using a button devoted to that field, as opposed to being uploaded when you submit the form.

Hint: The File Field is more useful when you may expect to just have one file or image for every form submission, or if you have several images in their own respective fields. The Multi File however is better for when you want to upload a number of files under the same column/field in a form.

Hint: On a mobile device, you can use this to take photos and save them on the fly in your Bloc.
