Max file count on File fields doesn't actually allow multiple files at once

Hey folks,

Running into something a bit confusing with the File field on a Conditional Form. I set Min file count to 1 and Max file count to 10 under Validation, expecting that would let users drag a batch of files in together or multi-select in the file picker.

Turns out that’s not what happens. I checked the actual upload input in the browser and it’s still set to single file only, so no matter how many files someone drags onto the box or selects at once, only the first one gets picked up. To get to 10 files, they have to upload one, wait for it, then repeat that nine more times.

Is that the expected behavior for Max file count, or is it supposed to enable real multi-select too? I saw an old thread from 2023 where your team mentioned multi-file upload was “in the plans,” and another one from April 2025 asking for the same thing, so I wanted to check whether this has actually shipped or if the new validation settings are just enforcing count without changing the upload UI itself.

Would love to know if this is a known limitation or something worth flagging as a bug.

Thanks,

Hi @FigaryLearning

If your database table toggle that allows multiple file attachments is switched on, and there are no other validations that may be causing problems with uploading multiple files (like maximum file size, allowed file types, etc.), then it should work fine, as when you click the file field, then you would be able to multi-select as many files as you need and upload them
