Hello, I'm looking to use QuickBase's File Manager Plugin, but was wondering if anyone had found a way to be able to pass additional data into the child records that were created. For example, if I could pass on what "kind" of file it was (like Signed Request, Invoice, etc.) into a child table field.

The official Quickbase plug-in does not have that ability, but the multi file upload tool from Juiced

does have that ability. A typical use case would be say for some kind of real estate application such as house inspector or repair person where they would upload pictures in batches by room and mass tag them with the room name. The choices in the juiced add in  tool will come out of a multiple choice field on the record that carries the file attachment.

Thanks again Mark!
also, if you need more advanced file management features our new Document Portal add-on is another option. https://www.juicedtech.com/cloud-storage
