Files and Images Field: Attachments limit
The Files and Images field can now cap how many attachments a single field instance will accept. Solution admins turn on "Limit the number of allowed attachments" in field settings and set the maximum — the field then refuses uploads beyond that count. Contract tables enforcing exactly one signed PDF per record, product catalogs capping reference images at a fixed number, HR employee profiles allowing only one headshot, and any workflow where the attachment count is a first-class part of the data model get field-level enforcement.
Key Highlights
- New Field-Level Setting: "Limit the number of allowed attachments" appears in the Files and Images field's configuration modal. Off by default; existing fields keep their current unlimited behavior until an admin explicitly turns the limit on.
- Whole-Number Maximum: When enabled, a numeric input accepts a whole-number maximum (default 1). Decimals, zero, and values above the system maximum are silently ignored — the input reverts to the last valid value, keeping the setting model predictable.
- Enforcement at Upload Time: The constraint is enforced at the record edit surface — uploads beyond the configured count are refused, so the invariant holds when the value is entered rather than surfaced as a validation error after save.
- Backward Compatible: Existing Files and Images fields are unaffected unless a solution admin opts into the limit. No migration; no accidental data loss on records already exceeding a newly-configured limit.
- Same Governance Model as Other Fields: The setting sits with the rest of the Files and Images field configuration, exposed to Solution Managers and Workspace Admins per the standard field-configuration permission model.
How It Works
- Open the field settings on a Files and Images field (or create a new one).
- Toggle on "Limit the number of allowed attachments." A numeric input appears with a default value of 1.
- Enter the maximum attachment count (whole numbers only). Save the field.
- On the record edit surface, the field now refuses uploads beyond the configured count. Users see the constraint at the point of upload rather than after save.
Available on all plans; existing Files and Images fields keep their prior unlimited behavior until an admin explicitly opts into the limit.
