HI. Attaching multiple images to a collection Object is important for us, whether it’s done with a mapping file or in any other way. It’d be great to see this functionality in Specify 7.
Keep in mind that you can upload to the same object as long as the catalog number is any kind of formatted (and has a fixed length) right now. If it isn’t, then mapping path will be neededd.
Hi @vinayakjha. Do you mean with the batch attachment uploader? So, if the catalog number has a CatalogNumberString format, a mapping file will be needed?
Oops, I’ll try to keep the conversation rolling this time! Yes, I meant with bulk attachment uploader.
If the formatter is defined and is not regex, you don’t need the mapping file (since the size property should be required in that case). So, if the length of your field formatter is 4, and catalognumber of collectionobject is ABCD, you can import multiples via ABCD(0), ABCD(1) and anything other like ABCD(a), ABCD-0, ABCD-1, ABCD-(first), etc.
Thanks @vinayakjha, It’s good to know this is possible in Specify 7 although I cannot use it at the moment because of the catalogue number format we defined (regex).
