1 attachment variable supports only 1 file

You will require 3 attachment variables for each of those pics.

OR

Let users use OOTB paperclip icon to add files and then use onSubmit client script to validate number of files attached.

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

Hi @SWAPNAG67418591 ,

As Ankur suggested either create different variables for images or use the OOB attachment feature to get the images.

Please note attachment type variables does not add files to requested item form/attachment list, it will only be visible on variable section.

Thanks

If I’ve understood the requirement correctly, you already have the images, and the user just needs to select one while filling out the form. In that case, I’d suggest keeping it simple — you can include the images in the catalog item description with unique tags, then add a select box for the user to choose the corresponding tag. You could also have a hidden attachment-type variable to store the selected image, and on form submission, copy the relevant image to that variable based on the selected tag.

Alternatively, if you want a more interactive experience, you could create a custom widget or UI Macro to display and handle image selection directly on the form.

Tried 1st approach on PDI:
