Yes great update!

+1 for renaming. We do this all the time. For example, some people upload files with random file names like “135155dsfs1gd358gsa81.jpg” which is a bit lazy just upload however it came from the source system. But then after uploading it we want to apply a proper naming convention so the words have context so you don’t need to download or preview “peek” to find out the file contents.

And I hope some of the future updates are to make the “Display as List” to replicate an Entity list view? The file list would be great as a table so properties can be displayed (like time uploaded/created, and user who uploaded) and actions like download and delete can be displayed on hover. And the “Add new” is more prominent and above the file list "(rather than at the end of the row)

Just ran into a problem, maybe a bug, and thought I’d share in case it helps someone.

I thought I had lost my PDF template because the “Attach PDF” button suddenly stopped working and became disabled — I couldn’t access the HTML template anymore.

That button is part of a process where the next step sends the PDF by email, but the automation couldn’t find the file name anymore, since I had changed it.

I changed it back to use “Files,” and now it works again. Had a moment of panic there!

Had you changed the Files field from allowing multiple files, to only allowing one?

</div>

I think changing the cardinality is equivalent to creating a new field and deleting the old one, so I think this would explain why the automation broke - it wasn’t so much that the original field was renamed but rather the original field was deleted/replaced.

Another thought: archiving files—tracked changes, revisions, supersessions etc.

In love with the new possibility of having more than one file field.

But I came across a problem. I wanted to attach to an email automation, files from two fields. Is there a way of writting a formula like [Step 1 Person].File1 + [Step 1 Person].File2 so I can attach both files from different fields?

Unfortunately it is not possible to merge collections in formulas so far

@mdubakov a great release, as always, thank you!  
I see Fibery is maturing and starting to support larger organizations bit by bit. From a high strategy perspectice, I think that Fibery has the characteristic to be a collective intelligence platform that a **llows AI and humans to analyze and orchestrate systemic organizational strategy**. Not many users point to this potential because they use Fibery to solve operational challenges. But the real potential I see is not in operations only, its actually in whole systems strategy, where the success of an entire organization is made insightful, not only fragmented operations. This however, in my view, **needs the new automations 2.0 to focus on exactly that: high strategy orchestration (transparently, insightfully)** such that smaller operational functionality is always suporting that. This discussion will only be understood or supported by users that are not just using Fibery for their current small operational need, but that think together about the current trends in tech and business and what Fibery its potential is.
