Hi Survey123 team,

Problem: Some of our forms require multiple pictures to be captured, our field techs report that clicking the "camera +" icon to snap an additional picture can become cumbersome.

Proposed Solution: What I'm proposing is if Survey123 could add the ability to snap photos consecutively, maybe a checkbox within the camera screen where it allows you to check a box to allow consecutive photo capture without exiting the camera screen.

Thanks, and I hope the Survey123 can consider this feature to reduce the number of clicks a user has to make to capture multiple pictures.

@SaadShahzad Not sure how it works on the field app, but in Connect, if you switch the question type from image to file, it lets you select multiple files.  A workaround could be (if it works on the field app the same) to change it to a file question, have users just take photos on their camera app, then go in and select all the photos to attach in the form.
