Collecting trip attachment button

Get Help
1

I am having trouble getting the collecting trip attachment button to appear on the collecting trip form in Specify7. I’ve put this in the view def on a new line but it doesn’t seem to work.

Any suggestions?

Hi @Plarson,

I have this button appearing properly using the following components in my form definition:

First, you must have an accompanying <view> for each <viewdef>

        <view name="CollectingTripForm"

If you are having any trouble after seeing this example, please share your view definition with us so that I can take a closer look!

Thank you!

Got it, thanks! The problem was that I only had one of the views.
