File Attachment
Description
With the File Attachment feature, users can easily attach files to their forms. This component can be customized to allow multiple files and specify the maximum size of each file. Additionally, it supports a range of file formats that are compatible with adaptive forms.
To ensure that recipients only receive relevant files, AEM authors have the option to restrict the types of files that can be attached. By default, audio, video, image, plain text, and PDF files are accepted. However, authors can easily adjust the settings to allow for Microsoft Office files as well.
Please keep in mind that if you are using a form connected to a Sharepoint list, it is important to retain the name field as "Attachments".
Configuration
Select the component and click the wrench icon on the component toolbar to configure the properties for File Attachment.
