When I use the Drag & Drop Uploader element on a collection, it ceases to function. This is used on a product page to attach files to use for printing. Some products have 1 file needed, other 2, 3, 4, or more. A collection seemed to solve for the number of files needed. But, the uploader will al…

Not sure what you’re doing… but maybe try it such that in step 3 of the first screenshot (change var value), change it to the result of step 2 of your first screenshot (upload image function) under the section where you can use the result of prior workflow actions… so you don’t have to use item data …

Yes, that I understand for a “normal” upload file, but when in a collection list, I just can’t add the input element. That’s why I suppose I need to create the variable, but I just don’t know how to use it in the workflow. [upload] The variables are visible when I add a upload file element NOT in…

@Alexis in case you can help me again, thanks!

Hi, I think you’re struggling with an old limitation. When an element is repeated, element variables are not available anymore. The workaround is to store the value in a variable using the onchange event on the file input. But then, you end up limited by the current upload file action as you cant us…

Nope, you can already use the Query or Object type I think to store the file inside a variable. The issue is the upload file action, it take a file input as parameter (the file input element, you have to choose one in your page), so you can’t use a variable containing a file instead.

@Alexis do you have any update about this limitation, because I have to build a functionality where a user -just like a form builder- has the ability to add an image and text so my data structure has to be repeated, so the action of uploading a file is not visible for me because the file uploader ha…

You need to save the upload resut array into an array and then work with it.

@Broberto the thing is that the upload element can’t be seen in the workflow if it’s in a repeated element

Hi, Hi think its solvable if we allow you to bind the file (in addition to be able to select a file element), so you could bind the file from a variable where you stored it, as suggested by @Broberto We solved this in the new encode file as base64 action, we should be able to apply the same logic …
