Now (and finally!) you can add multiple File Fields to any database and define whether each field allows one or many files. Previously, only a single File Field was supported, which created several annoying limitations. This update removes that restriction and our hands are free to improve files support in Fibery further .
Some new small things related to files in this release:
Refined the File Field UI (a little bit)
Added a convenient Download all files action, available both at the field level and for the entire entity
There is a new Delete File action in Automation Rules
It is possible to filter by files (is empty and is not empty) in Views and Automation triggers now
This is just the first minimal release to make multiple files work, more things are coming in nearest future:
In progress: Enable file previews (PDFs, videos, etc.) in all file units
In progress: Expand automation support for file operations
Gallery View
Introduce new file units in all views with inline previews, uploads, etc.
Improvements
Batch Actions: Duplicate action added to batch actions, so now you can select and duplicate many entities with few clicks.
Threads View. In the past thread read status was stored per-client. It means if you see Thread section from new device, it will contain many unread posts, while you already saw them. Now this is fixed and read status immediately propagated to all devices .
Filters: Now it is possible to filter entities by Comments and Files fields with options is empty and is not empty.
Discourse integration:Receive instant data updates using webhook setting added, so now you can receive instant updates from Discourse to Fibery.
Fixed Bugs
Table View:
Fixed a situation when columns get unpinned after table duplication or opening entity
Fixed missing field-type icons in table headers for non-admins
Forms: Fixed form submission failure when Google Translate is used on a page
User Management: Fixed missed File fields on User Entity screen
Entity View:
Fixed a case when check-box control can be drag and dropped only once in 2-columns layout
Made āCopy as markdownā action work again for rich text fields
Fixed an error after dropping the last collection field to the bottom
Discourse integration: Fixed a situation when tags from tag groups arenāt synced
Board View:
Fixed issues with ādrop lineā in columns
Fixed a case when a column gets dropped to the wrong place. Same issue on dropping column out of columns area
Fixed Board layout issue - row titles above column title
P.S. We hope nothing breaks ā such core changes are always a bit worrisome
This is SO exciting. Thanks for the work that went into this ā Iām SURE this is one of those changes that appears āsmallerā to users (but certainly impactful!), but took a massive lift by the devs in the architecture to make it sing.
Add āDownload all filesā in the right click menu of the entity in views + in bulk actions when selecting multiple entities in a view
Move the āDownload all filesā in the field to the same location as the āCopy as Markdownā in rich text fields. Mixing the āā¦ā on fields for End-User actions and Admin Actions isnāt great I think. Thereās already a place for in Rich Text Fields, why introduce a new placement for files?
When there are no files and the user does not have edit access, the field is gone. Instead there should be a āNo Filesā indicator instead of a field that disappears.
Ahh i see. It happens if it is changed after creation. But in the creation process it does not.
Replicate:
New field (dont edit the name)
Uncheck āAllow multipleā
Create
It will now be a single file field, with the name āFilesā
Ideally, when unchecking the āAllow multipleā it would dynamically (before saving) change the name to the singular form, and can be edited by the user before saving. Relation fields actually work differently I see now, because they only allow renaming the field AFTER the relation is created.
Will this include ability to use AI on files? Eg when video is uploaded ā create transcript or when document is uploaded ā review and give suggestions.
Every Semester I need to upload all invoices to another accounting software, which unfortunately does not have automation. It would be nice to be able to download all the invoices at once, and not one by one.
Also, ādeleting several files at a timeā, would have been super handy when I was testing the button that creates the pdf from html. Since after testing, creating MANY ā¦ I had to delete them all, as well, one by one
Renaming, simply because sometimes it has been named wrong, and to be able to rename you need to download, rename and upload again the file. But I guess I could live without this feature I just thought are little things, that makes life less annoying.
Plus it just makes sense. Itās aligned with the way the rest of the Entity Actions work. Avaliable in the āā¦ā menu in the entity, on right click, and in bulk select (mostly).
Then zipping per entity per field would be fantastic.
I know itās been mentioned that maps arenāt getting touched again for a while, but now there is more file supportā¦ could you possibly look at implementing a cover image like on the cards view? Itās be nice to see a photo of the location
