Guidance Needed for Updating FILE Field in Baserow Application Builder

Hello Baserow community!

I hope you are all doing well. I need some guidance on designing the Application Builder to update a FILE field in a record, as users have more files to upload. Could anyone explain the best way to handle this? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you very much!

Hello Zion welcome to the community. To design an Application Builder that updates a FILE field with multiple uploads, consider implementing a feature that allows users to add multiple files progressively. You could either:
Use a multi-file upload field: Enable users to select and upload multiple files at once, or
Add an “Add Another File” option: Allow users to add additional file fields dynamically as needed.
Ensure each upload triggers an update to the record, storing each file properly without overwriting previous ones.

Hello @Zionflow! Here’s a great starting point—a video on how to manipulate data using Baserow’s Application Builder: How to manipulate data in Baserow Application Builder :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks for your input but could you point me the tool to input a file in a form ?
I only see “text input” “dropdown” and “checkbox” as a valid tool for a form in the app builder.

Hello @qtld and @Zionflow :wave:

At the moment it is not yet possible to submit uploaded files using application builder forms. We have a ticket to implement it in the meantime: Add file input (#2188) · Issues · Baserow / baserow · GitLab
