Update multiple file rows

Hello,

I want my users to upload several files to diferent rows, just for them to drag the file into the desired row.

I enabled the QuickEdit feature in a table view

But it doesn’t work, I cant add a file to any row with QuickEdit, and in this QuickEdit article says, that it should be posible since file type columns are not in the restricted list.

Hope someone can help :raising_hands:

I don’t believe AppSheet supports drag-and-drop.

Well, I usally drag and drop in forms or the quick edit in detail view (desktop desing).

I learned something new today!

You should have mentioned you can’t even edit the file column. That’s likely the problem, not drag-and-drop. Please post a screenshot of the column configuration. If the column has Valid if and/or Editable? expressions, please also post screenshots of them.

That function is really helpful. :raising_hands:

Yes, they don’t have any Valid If or Editable If expressions, hence, I don’t understand why the QuickEdit is not working as intended.

I’ve never tried to drag and drop files or upload through a table view, but from from the screenshot it looks like the problem might be the fact that the system auto-generates an inline “view file” action for File-type columns, combined with the behavior of the Table view that causes inline actions to replace the corresponding values rather than being shown alongside them. So you’re just seeing the “view file” action showing up there. If you hide the action or make it not inline, it might cause the File input to appear in the table (I haven’t confirmed this but it could be worth a try).

Oh, great call!

Actually I moved the View file inline button from the Certificados column to Prominent, so the coloumn wouldn’t be obstructed by the acttion button. Yet the result is the same, I can’t modify the column, neither drag and drop anything in it.

Is the File column used by the key column in any way?

No, is not used by any other column. The key column has a UNIQUEID() formula.

Sorry, I wasn’t able to get it to work either. It looks like File is among the types that don’t support editing in Table views.

I think you’re right… Just read this post where they mention that QuickEdit for view doesn’t work on Image columns only in detail view, sadly it looks the same for File.
