I have an automation that once an attachment field is not empty, it creates a new record in a different base with that attachment and a few other fields.
Is there a way, that if the attachment field has more than 1 file, it will create a new record for each one of those files?
Yes, you can use a repeating group in your automation to loop through all of the attachments in the attachment field. Just use the attachment field as the input list for your repeating group.

Hey Limi!
Airtable's standard automation actions don't offer a built-in way to split an attachment field with multiple files into separate records. However, you can achieve this using a custom script within the automation.
By using the "Run a script" action, you can loop through each file in the attachment field and then create a new record for each one in your destination base, including any additional fields you need.
Hope it Helps!
That is incorrect. Airtable's repeating action allows you to split an attachment field by looping through the attachments, as I mentioned above in my previous post.
