 * Hello
    I have run into a problem using the File Uploader basic field
 * It has 2 check boxes
    Attach to mailer 1) What does this do cannot find documentation
 * Allow Multiple 2) assumed you could attach more than 1 file but cannot seem to
   get it to work
 * Thanks great plugin 🙂

 * This will attach the file to the email sent usign the mailer, if you are using
   that.

 * Can you explain more, in terms of what is going wrong and how you are trying 
   to use it?

 * By default, it is blank as there are no conditions in your form. Did you add 
   conditionals?

 * Hi Josh
    Allow Multiple 2) assumed you could attach more than 1 file but cannot
   seem to get it to work
 * Well I checked the box and when I tried to send 3 files only 1 was ever attached
   not 3 so I had to use 3 fields
 * By default, it is blank as there are no conditions in your form. Did you add 
   conditionals?
 * I just can’t get them to work …. I wanted to add a checkbox that would unhide
   3 file fields if the user had the forms filled out ..

 * Hi there, sorry for the late reply.
 * the multiple sets the field to a multi , so you need to hold ctrl+click the files
   to select multiple (cmd on mac) its annoying I know but thats html for you.
 * The conditionals are a little confusing and I’m sorry for that. I spend a long
   time trying to figure out a nice way to make them easy but its complex no matter
   how I look at it. I will try make it cleaner as time goes by.
 * To get started, look at the Conditions tab next to the Layout tab. click add 
   condition group and give it any name. and just play around. I’m sure you’ll get
   it easily.
