Qrew LegendI would be quite astonished if you could trick the File Manager Plug In to work in Add mode.
My suggestion would be to provide a button labelled Upload Documents, which would just use the %%RID%% method to Re-Display the previously unsaved record in Edit mode. That button would only appear in Add mode. I don't think it's such a terrible user experience to have one extra click on a clearly labelled button located where the Plug in field is on the form.
Lots of time in Quickbase we achieve a non-perfect but pretty good solution, accept it as good enough and then move on to the next hundred things on our to do list.
I hear you, so often I try to mash everything into one formula. That was my next thought %%RID%% then file manager swap out. Thank you, I'll tinker with that!
