Issues with Attachment Management in Order Delivery/Purchasing Workflow

Hello @support ,

We’re using NocoBase extensively for order delivery and purchasing, particularly for cross-border shipments. Since our workflow relies heavily on attachments (e.g., proof photos, signed documents, invoices), we’ve encountered a few challenges that impact efficiency. We’d appreciate your guidance or potential solutions for the following:

  1. Bulk Download Limitations
    Currently, attachments must be downloaded one by one. It would be much more efficient to download all files at once (e.g., as a ZIP folder), especially for records with multiple documents.

  2. Difficulty Tracking Attachment Sources
    For orders with multiple invoices (e.g., 4–5 linked to a single record), we can’t easily identify which attachment corresponds to which invoice or when it was uploaded. Metadata like upload timestamps or clearer labeling would help.
    Something like this would really help

  3. Download Behavior
    Clicking the download icon opens attachments in a new tab instead of downloading them directly. This requires an extra manual step (right-click → “Save As”), which slows down the process. A direct download would streamline operations.

Are there any workarounds, settings, or planned updates to address these issues? Thanks for your support—we’re happy to provide more details if needed!

@shleyZ @support any update regarding this issue

Hi, Thanks for your feedback!

The issues regarding ‘bulk download’ and ’direct download behavior‘ have been noted and added to our internal tracking list.

For attachment tracking, the downloaded file name is currently the same as the uploaded one. We recommend renaming files before uploading for easier identification. We also plan to open access to the attachment file table in the future, which will allow you to view more upload details.
