Edit widget: Attaching multiple documents at once

DavidMann1 — Thu, 09 Jan 2014 17:28:33 GMT

Is anybody aware of of a way to allow multiple documents to be selected and attached at the same time using the edit widget? Currently when the user clicks on Add Attachment they are prevented from using ctrl or shift to select more than one item to attach. Thanks for any input.

David,

This is a limitation of Flash Player in general thus the API has no ability to get past this hurdle.

The FileReference class provides a means to upload and download files between a user's computer and a server. An operating-system dialog box prompts the user to select a file to upload or a location for download. Each FileReference object refers to a single file on the user's disk and has properties that contain information about the file's size, type, name, creation date, modification date, and creator type (Macintosh only).

I was afraid this was the answer but figured I would ask anyways since I could not find it answered anywhere already. Thanks Robert.
