 * Hi,
 * First, Shortcake is awesome! Best thing that ever happened to shortcodes. 🙂
 * I have a question: is it possible to create an attachment field that selects 
   multiple pictures / files? If not, is there any method to create a custom field
   type to use with the UI?
 * Thanks!

 * There isn’t, but there’s a pull request in-progress for it: [https://github.com/wp-shortcake/shortcake/pull/508](https://github.com/wp-shortcake/shortcake/pull/508)

 * There is an API for registering your own custom fields, but doing so would require
   a substantial amount of development effort.

 * Do you have examples on how this might be done? Has anybody done this and published
   their code? Thanks!
