I have a form where a user can upload an arbitrary number of files into a cell in each row. Ech row is an item, like a piece of furniture or an appliance. the documents may be pdfs of specifications, an installation manual, etc. How do I then display links to the item’s files on the item detail s…

thank you, that worked to get links on the screen, but is there a way to display custom link text, rather than the file name, which is very long sometimes?

Assuming it’s a Multiple Files column, then no, not easily. If you want that, then you are probably better off splitting the files out into a dedicated table, with one row per file. Then you could have an extra column for the custom label, and display them in a collection.

I tried making a table like that, but I don’t know how to get files in there and have them associated with a particular item, or how to display them nicely. I couldn’t find documentation on how to do it, and the AI doesn’t help. are there instructions somewhere?

[image] Darren_Murphy: @ThinhDinh - Miracle Method also occurred to me, but I don’t that would help here (with a Multiple Files column), as there is no way to add labels for sepcific files. Ahhh, that would be tricky. Yeah, I think your method above would work best.

I’ve got this functionally working, but my client wants the form screen to have her color pallette (background color, font color, etc). is there a way to add css to the form screen?

There might be, but that is outside my wheelhouse. @ThinhDinh or @Himaladin might be able to help you with that. You know you can use a container in your form and set the background colour of that, yes?
