Limitation with Dynamic Email Attachment Capture

I've discovered a flaw in how Zoho Creator handles email attachments when using the Email-to-Form feature, and I'm hoping the Zoho team can address this in a future update. The Issue According to the official documentation, capturing email attachments requires specific field naming conventions:

For a single attachment: Create a File Upload field named ZC_File
For multiple attachments: Create multiple File Upload fields named ZC_File0, ZC_File1, ZC_File2, etc.

The Problem This naming convention creates an impossible situation when you need to handle a dynamic/variable number of attachments. Here's what happens:

Scenario	Fields Created	Attachments Received	Result
Setup for single attachment	`ZC_File`	1 attachment	✓ Works perfectly
Setup for single attachment	`ZC_File`	2+ attachments	✗ Only captures first attachment
Setup for multiple attachments	`ZC_File0`, `ZC_File1`	2 attachments	✓ Works perfectly
Setup for multiple attachments	`ZC_File0`, `ZC_File1`	1 attachment	✗ Captures NOTHING - looks for ZC_File, not ZC_File0

The Current Workaround (Suboptimal) To handle variable attachment quantities, you're forced to create redundant fields:

ZC_File      ← Captures single attachments
ZC_File0     ← Captures first of multiple attachments  
ZC_File1     ← Captures second of multiple attachments
ZC_File2     ← Captures third of multiple attachments
...and so on

Problems with this approach:

Creates unnecessary form clutter with duplicate fields
Confusing for form designers and maintainers
Poor user experience if these fields are visible
Requires complex conditional logic if you want to consolidate the attachments later

What Should Happen Instead

Proposed Solution: The ZC_File0, ZC_File1 naming convention should be smart enough to handle ANY number of attachments, including just one. If only 1 attachment is received, it should be captured by ZC_File0 automatically, rather than requiring a separate ZC_File field. Alternatively, use the new field type that allows "multiple file upload" which can dynamically capture 1-to-N attachments without requiring pre-defined field quantities.

Real-World Impact

This limitation affects any automation workflow where:

Customer support tickets may have 0-5 attachments
Invoice processing receives 1-3 supporting documents
Application forms have optional file uploads
Any scenario where attachment quantity is unpredictable

Request to Zoho Team

Can this be addressed in a future update?

The current implementation forces developers to choose between:

1. Reliability
Creating redundant fields to handle all cases

2. Clean design
Having fewer fields but risking data loss

We shouldn't have to make this choice.
