Hi Dan and team,

Now that I’ve got my forms working, I’ve pushed into testing a few of the features.

On attachments, here’s a few things I discovered (in all cases, I’ve set it to accept “documents” with the deault max of 2 MB):

1. If the “Name” field in Attachment component settings is left blank, the message still goes through but there is no attachment with the message. Once a name is given, the attachment comes through OK.

2. With the “multiple” toggle activated in Attachment settings, the published form allows multiple files to be attached via the “select” button, (and file names preview well below it) in the form before clicking submit, but only ONE of the two attachments came through in email.

3. When a file or files (with multiple toggled) are dragged and dropped, upon clicking submit, the error message is displayed and the message does not send. When file or files are added via “select”, they go though fine.

4. When an incorrect file type is added, the error message that displays is good. Could it benefit from an “X” to acknowledge and dismiss the error? (adding a new file of the correct format _does_ dismiss the error).

Hope this helps!

All of these issues are now fixed and will be included in the next beta 🙂
