File question type: need to add attachments from Inbox

[YukoYokozawa]

I need to use "file" question because users want to add many (like 50) files to the survey. "image" question can only add one by one. When they open the survey from Inbox, the file question disabled. The file button doesn't show up.

I added "multiline" to appearance and "query allowUpdates=true" to bind::esri:parameters. 

Can someone tell me how to make it work?

When opening from the inbox, you need to set query

Try this (set it for your file question, and any repeats that you may wish to update from the Inbox):

EDIT: Caps are important. Please enter like this:

query allowUpdates=true

Yes, I added this to all my "file" questions, and the one outside of repeat doesn't work - the button doesn't show up.

My apologies. I apparently don't have any surveys right now that include both a file question outside of repeats and use the inbox.

The "file" question (aka, attachments) are actually not supported with the Inbox yet. See: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-questions/attachments-in-survey123-field-app/m-p/1185...

As such, what you are seeing is "intentional". Hopefully they get this fixed after the next major release. However, I wouldn't hold my breath. They are currently only working on moving S123 from Qt to .NET Maui (with no ETA yet).

Hi abureaux, thanks for your response. I understood. So, at this point, file attachment question works only inside the repeats. Well, it's better than not working at all. I'll talk to my users what they want to do. 

Thanks again!

Today, I just discovered that the file questions in repeat are working. I have one file question outside of repeat and it's not working. I added the query allowUpdates=true to all the file questions.
