File field - allow multiple values

Would there be any way to allow a custom field of type "file" to have multiple values, similar to the weblink field type?

Just apply the file field to one of your items and you'll see an "Add file" butten which is the multiple value option for this type.

Yes, you are correct!! Thanks!

However one more thing would make this perfect. If the system would display the name or description that could easily be edited for display on the front end, that would be great! When a web link is added to a weblink field, there are separate areas for the link and the link name. Having the same for file field types would help.

You can edit the description either on upload or later on click at the file link. However this description will not be diplayed on the front end because of a bug in versions prior to 1237. You need to pull newer versions via SVN.

I have r1235 installed. I don't see any way to edit the description from the back-end of the site. I can't try from the front-end because this site is running Joomla 2.5.4 and the permissioning does not work. Maybe I just need to wait!

I don't even see 1237 in the SVN.
