Description
Subitems are an excellent way to capture repeating data (like rooms, line items, or observations), but without a file upload option, WorkForms can’t be used for many field-based workflows. Users need to attach photos, videos, or documents to each subitem, and the lack of this feature forces us to rely on third-party form tools.
This limitation prevents teams from using WorkForms as a complete data-collection solution for inspections, reports, or service requests — all of which require visual evidence tied to specific subitems.
What are you trying to achieve
I’m trying to collect structured, repeatable data and attach files directly to each subitem within a single WorkForm.
For example, in a property management inspection form, each room (subitem) includes multiple observations, and each observation often requires a photo or short video. Because WorkForms don’t allow file uploads in subitems, I currently have to use a third-party form tool + Make.com to push data back into monday.com, which adds unnecessary complexity and cost.
If WorkForms supported file uploads inside subitems, I could:
-Keep the entire workflow native to monday.com
-Simplify data collection for teams in the field
-Ensure every subitem has its own file attachment, visible in the Files column
-Eliminate dependence on third-party tools
This single enhancement would make WorkForms more powerful for real-world use cases like inspections, field reports, job logs, and service requests.
