[Forminator Pro] Multiple File Upload

0

Currently, a form can only have one file uploaded per submit, unless the upload button is placed on the form multiple times. This seems it would only work well for a predetermined number of files to be uploaded.

For a client-facing website that may need anywhere from 0 to 10 (or more) files uploaded, it would be super helpful to have a way to upload multiple files with one button – to multi-select the files for upload. In case it's helpful, there's a super simple example here: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_input_multiple.asp

Perhaps another simple way to provide that, would be to add a drag & drop file upload, similar to that found in WordPress Media Upload.

I'm not a developer, but here are some other resources I found that might be helpful:

    Hi Jeremy,

    Hope you are doing good today. :slight_smile:

    We already have a similar feature request which our developers are looking forward in implementing down the plugins roadmap in future release. At the moment, we don’t have any exact ETA on when this will be included in the plugin version.

    I can assure, this is something which is in our list of improvements for the plugin. Thanks for creating a feature request, I’ll make sure to bring your observations into our teams attention too.

    Have a great weekend ahead. :slight_smile:

    Regards,

    Nithin

    Hey Jeremy

    Just wanted to update you on this. The multi-file uploader is being added to the upcoming 1.13 release and beta has been added to our Test Center. I’d encourage you to give it a try and provide your valuable feedback.

    To enable the multi-file mode, all you have to do is, set the “Type” = “Multiple” in the LABELS tab of a File Upload field. Additional settings can be found under the SETTINGS tab.

    Looking forward to hearing your views on this.

    Regards,
    Mukul Chawla
