Hi!
I am building an interface on the interface designer, and I added a File Upload component.I need to upload five documents maximum, and i set Max Selections to 5, but even if I select more than one file, I only have one (the first one I uploaded), the rest appear for a moment and disappear.Can anyone tell me why is this happening?Thanks a lot!

Is your rule input in which you save the documents an array?
No, i built this interface from a CDT and this rule input is a field from that CDT, so is a text field, i do not know how to convert it in an array.
So, if you want to store multiple documents, then a singular field will not make it.
When you want to store documents in a CDT, please use the data type "Document". In the CDT you can make that field an array to store more than one. Making simply data type fields an array is not a best practice, but gets you started.
Try to follow this documentation: docs.appian.com/.../cdt_design_guidance.html
Hi if i made this change, then in my database what type do i need to put in this type column?
If you let Appian create the tables, it will create a second table and make the field an integer to store the id of the document which is stored in the Appian document storage.
If i do that do i lose the data i already have in my database?
Do you mean that in my data store object when i click verify, then check let the appian create the tables?
Usually thats meant by "created by Appian"-> DB tools "oracle sql developer" have usually "export" functions. In cloud, I cant tell you out of my mind, but there should be a similar function available. So you can export your DB content, manipulate the document column and insert it into the new table.
