Excel table - edit cell with field type file

Howdy there -

I am using the Excel table plugin which works great. One question - I have a field in my data source of type file. If I edit a cell of this type using the Excel table plugin the user can type text into the cell freely, but really they should get a file upload dialog. Is this possible to accomplish using the excel table plugin and if so can anyone suggest an approach?

Thanks!!

Hello, @jbrosowsky

Yes, it is possible. Here is a guide:

  1. Create a Popup element on the page with your table (stats is a name of a table here):

  2. Add a Upload file element:

  3. Create a “When Grid A row is clicked” Event in your Workflow:

  4. Add Step 1 “Show popup”:

  5. Add Step 2 “Display data in Popup”:

The result is like the following: https://www.loom.com/share/7eee619390354ffaac867bb5dd0a1229

Then you need to adjust the next steps like where you want to show/keep the uploaded file and so on.
I hope my reply will inspire you and be helpful.
