I think this is great—thank you! However, for this example, it would have been beneficial to follow through with the complete process, including error checking for when an attachment is not included. For the average user, demonstrating how to handle situations where an attachment isn’t submitted would be very helpful. As it stands, I can get as far as adding the attachment to the list, but when a form submission lacks an attachment, it doesn’t display any feedback. Asking viewers to switch contexts to find a similar solution (17:45) in another video with a different example isn’t as effective. Otherwise, the content is fantastic!

Thanks for the explanation, I would like to ask if there is a way to compress or resize attachments, especially when there are images.
