Hello🙂

I am unable to add an attachment to my form.
(I have read this FAQ http://www.chronoengine.com/faqs/2676-how-can-i-attach-uploaded-files-to-an-email.html )

Is it required to add an 'upload files' event if only requiring an attachment?

In the preview window - the attachment field name is the same as the events/on submit/attachment fields name

This is the debug info...

Any thoughts on what to do?

Hi driv,

Is it required to add an 'upload files' event if only requiring an attachment?

Yes, if the file is being uploaded from the form.

Thank you Bob.

I had tried that but I hadn't realised the Fields Configuration field was mandatory. uploaded_file_1:txt-doc-pdf

(Just posting in case anyone else has the same problem.)

Hi driv,

Yes, that is required (a) because it is the only way that ChronoForms knows which File element(s) to pay attention to and (b) because for security reasons only the file-types you list there are allowed.
