File attachments in chat

Am I right that the chat and comment component do not support file attachments? If so is there any workaround that still uses the chat component?

Yes, it’s not support attachments natively for now.

I think you would have to abandon the native way to add comments through the same component, add a form container or a button to open a form on that same screen, allow adding attachments there, and use an action to open that attachments once the comment has been submitted.

Please note that actions tied to comments on the Comments component are not really “visible”. You have to click on the “hamburger” icon to see them or long press on mobile devices.

Thanks. I think I’ll stick to my handmade chat approach for now. Hopefully file attachments are a future option.

Images would be good for a start, I’m having to build like above and use HTML to display images.
