Hi everyone, I have a collaborator with Creator permission who is unable to add attachments to an Attachment field. Is there a solution?

Thanks in advance.

Did you restrict the field’s permissions?

Hi Scott, my collaborator has full Creator permissions.

Hi Adam, my collaborator has Creator permission on the Base, they are not able to add an attachment because the "ADD" button is greyed out. There is no restriction in the field permissions.

Hm, could you provide a screenshot of the page they're using to upload with the greyed out add button please?

Hi Adam,

Thanks for your help, I just discovered in the table drop down for table permissions I needed to allow "Creators and up" was on the wrong setting.

Problem solved
