Hi,

I'm using https://verbb.io/craft-plugins/formie/docs/template-guides/pdf-templates.

I have a repeater field (myUploads) which contains multiple upload fields (uploadField1, uploadField2).

How can I create a simple list with file names in the attached PDF template for notification?

I tried various chatgpt suggestions, but did not get it quite right by now. 😉

{# Assuming you have a submission model or variable named 'submission' and a repeater field named 'myUploads' #}
{% set repeaterFieldHandle = 'myUploads' %} {# Replace with your actual repeater field handle #}

{# Get the repeater field value from the submission #}
{% set repeaterField = submission.getFieldValue(repeaterFieldHandle) %}

{# Check if the repeater field has rows #}
{% if repeaterField | length %}
    <ul>
        {% for row in repeaterField %}
            <li>
                {# Loop through the upload fields in the repeater row #}
                {% for uploadField in row %}
                    {# Check if the field is an upload field and if it has a file (check the 'url' property) #}
                    {% if uploadField is iterable and uploadField.url is not empty %}
                        {# Get the file associated with the upload field #}
                        {% set file = craft.assets.id(uploadField.value).one() %}
                        
                        {# Check if the file exists #}
                        {% if file %}
                            {# Output the file name #}
                            {{ file.filename }}
                        {% endif %}
                    {% endif %}
                {% endfor %}
            </li>
        {% endfor %}
    </ul>
{% else %}
    No uploads found.
{% endif %}

Thanks very much in advance!

Best regards,
Matthias

I would suggest brushing up on how rendering submission content works as that'll guide you through most cases.

But for your exact use-case:

{% set rows = submission.getFieldValue('myRepeaterField').all() %}

{% if rows | length %}
    <ul>
        {% for row in rows %}
            <li>
                {% set assets = row.getFieldValue('myFileUploadField').all() %}

                {% for asset in assets %}
                    {{ asset.filename }}
                {% endfor %}
            </li>
        {% endfor %}
    </ul>
{% else %}
    No uploads found.
{% endif %}

Keep in mind that a Repeater field is much like a Matrix or Super Table field, and a File Upload field is an Assets field. …

    </ul>
{% else %}
    No uploads found.
{% endif %}

Keep in mind that a Repeater field is much like a Matrix or Super Table field, and a File Upload field is an Assets field. You'll notice the use of all() for the repeater field value, as that will return a NestedRowQuery value, much like Matrix returns a MatrixBlockQuery.
