Multiple attachments columns in SharePoint lists

sharepoint list attachment
Marius picture Marius · Jul 26, 2009 · Viewed 29.4k times · Source

What I need is to clearly differentiate between the attachments (this is an approval, this is an offer, this is a PO, etc). Is this possible, or it is working only in bulk (attach all files together)?

Thanks,

SharePoint does not support attachment metadata. I would suggest storing the attachments in a document library (probably with Content Types for Approval, Offer, PO, etc) with a lookup column to the associated item in your list.
