Attaching Multiple Images to an eForm Submission

Multiple file attachments in eForm are possible, but the form and mail-processing layer both need to be structured for repeated files instead of a single upload field.

eForm can handle file uploads, but attaching several images to one outgoing email requires a slightly different design than a single-file field. The front end must accept multiple uploads, and the mail-processing logic must iterate over all validated files.

What to plan

  • input naming for multiple files
  • file validation and allowed types
  • where temporary uploads are stored
  • how the mail handler appends each attachment

Recommendation

Do not bolt multiple uploads onto a single-file workflow blindly. Treat it as a dedicated attachment flow so the validation, storage, and cleanup remain predictable.
