Handling Multiple File Attachments in FormIt

If one attachment works but two break the whole form, the mail and upload pipeline probably still assumes a single-file field.

Multi-file attachment flows often fail at the first scale-up step: one upload field works, but adding a second stops submission and breaks the redirect entirely.

What this usually means

The upload parser, mail builder, or redirect flow still assumes one attachment input. As soon as a second field appears, the request handling no longer matches the form structure.

Recommendation

Treat multiple attachments as a dedicated form design problem. Validate each input, confirm how the mail layer appends files, and test the redirect only after the upload loop is working.
