Attachment Column from List not showing up in Forms
I am trying to build a List to feed my forms, and I'm hoping to allow those who fill out the form to be able to add an attachment. Is this possible? I was able to add an attachments column in my list, but it's not showing up as a field option when I create the form.

ALISHAR1940 as long as you're users are internal you can add a upload file question. The file upload won't be available if the form settings are set to anyone can respond.

Rob_Elliott Thank you for this! So, I have to do it directly through Forms? I can't build a list with an attachments column (I have this column now, but it doesn't allow me to select it as a field for the form) that then populates the form for attachments? Also, where do the uploaded documents go, if not to a list....

ALISHAR1940 you cannot pre-populate your form with any outside data or select your SharePoint attachments column as a question in your form.
An uploaded file is saved to your personal OneDrive if it's a personal form. If it's a group form it's saved to a folder in the Documents library on the group SharePoint site.Rob

Rob_Elliottdo we know the ETA on this?
Looks like it was scheduled to start rolling out in Nov. 2024: Microsoft 365 Roadmap | Microsoft 365
It was being worked on by Joao Ferriera: Microsoft Lists: Add attachments to forms - M365 Admin
I am trying to decide whether to wait on this or go ahead and build a workaround.
