Can we upload files on a field?

We have to Create an attachment icon near the custom field.
Let me know if it is possible using salesforce standard functionality.

Hi,

Yes you can using Rich Text area but you can only upload images but not documents. I guess there is no other option as field.

Thanks,

Hi,

You may not be able to add a field to upload the file in standard way. But you can have a screen flow to upload the file and add the screenflow as button in salesforce.

If you are okay with that implementation I can share the flow. 

The file uploaded will get stores in Files and attachments related list.

Let me know if you face any issues.

If this solution helps, Please mark it as best answer.

Thanks,

Hi Sai,
I was thinking of using Rich text area field for file upload but turns out we can only upload images and links using RTA.

Is there any similar alternative apart from creating a flow?

Thanks
