Cannot add attachment in grid edit mode

Hi,

I am creating a form with a child table inside it and I want to be able to add attachment in grid edit mod but it seems that I can't...

Any thoughts ?

Thanks,

  • Has there been any update on this possible functionality, please?  It would definitely be useful to be able to attach many files within the Grid Edit view.

    I understand that this functionality is not available to add an attachment directly in grid-edit. But is there a way to display the pencil icon in the grid edit report to launch a form that allows the attachment to be added to an existing record?

      It only has the pencil icon if the child record has been saved at least once.  So creating new child record directly from the parent form & trying to attach wont work.

      We typically use an add on feature that allows you drag and drop multiple files, view them view them (without downloading), merge to PDF, and email directly from the app.  Yeah its pretty sweet.

        I know it's been a very long time since you commented this, but on the off chance you're still active on here, could you tell me what add-on you used? Or if there's something better you started using since 2017? 

        Thanks!!

      Thanks for the responses.  This was my mistake.  I was using a table report and allowing editing instead of a grid edit report.  I now have this working as desired.  Thanks.
