Description
I would like to suggest a feature enhancement for Autodesk Forma Build Forms.
Currently, the Table section in Forms provides several data types, but an Attachment/File data type is not available. Adding an Attachment data type within a table would make it easier to capture and associate supporting documents, images, or files with individual table rows.
Proposed Enhancement
Add an Attachment/File data type as an available column type within the Table section of Forms.
For example, a table could contain:
Item Description Status Attachment
| Inspection Item 1 | Concrete work | Completed | 📎 Photo/Document |
| Inspection Item 2 | Electrical work | Pending | 📎 Photo/Document |
| Inspection Item 3 | Finishing work | Completed | 📎 Photo/Document |
Each row should allow users to upload or attach one or more files independently.
Key Benefits
Allows supporting documents or photos to be associated directly with the relevant table row.
Reduces the need for separate attachment fields outside the table.
Improves traceability between an item and its supporting evidence.
Makes inspection, quality-control, punch-list, and documentation workflows more efficient.
Reduces ambiguity when multiple items require different supporting files.
Suggested Functionality
The Attachment data type could support:
Uploading photos, PDFs, and other supported file formats.
One or multiple attachments per table row.
Previewing or downloading attachments.
Removing or replacing attachments.
Applying the same attachment permissions and storage behavior already available in Forms.
Retaining attachments when the form is submitted and available when reviewing the form response.
Example Use Case
For a construction inspection form, a table may contain multiple inspection items. Each item may require photographic evidence.
Instead of having a single attachment field at the end of the form, users could attach the relevant photo directly to the corresponding inspection item.
Requested enhancement:
Please consider adding Attachment/File as a supported Data Type within the Table section of Forms in Autodesk Forma Build.
