[Feature Request] Filter Attachments by View

[jpelky]

Perhaps it's already possible, but I am working with a form that uses a large amount of attachments and wanted to use sections of the form to show only specific attachments. I was trying to use a filter on the selected view:

Being able to filter on Title, or File Type would be really helpful. Thanks for the great work!

I see what you mean. Unfortunately, a custom control such as this one is unable to inherit the "edit form" specific configurations. The alternative is to either add that functionality to the control itself or to create custom fields for the options menu in the form editor.

Would either of the above be a viable solution to your proposal?

[jpelky]

Oh yeah, absolutely, either option would work great. Thanks for the consideration! I wasn't yet aware custom controls could inherit those configurations, thanks for that.

Just wanna say thanks @GorgonUK for giving us this control... really appreciate the hard work you put into this... i'm trying something similar to what @jpelky is doing... trying to get sections of the form to shown specific attachments... or even in different tabs... @jpelky have you found a way to do this?

My current workaround to make these incoming attachments a little easier to locate was adding prefixes to the file names as the Flow attaches them. So, for example, if someone is uploading an ID of some sort, I may prefix it "ID: " which at least helps a little bit

Yes @jpelky , im naming the scans like section 1, section 2 , section 3 etc... but i havent gotten the filter part to work? have you got the filter part to work? saw you had something like "Title begins with" but i'm not seeing that ... wonder if @GorgonUK have a lil workaround for us lol ...:)
