    I am using version 3.8.2 (141) for iPad. Does importing drawings work the same way as importing photos where it is a two step process? I have attached two images that shows the csv file and the Cyberduck connection. It imports and show the photo just fine but will not show the drawing in the form.

    Thanks,

    Hi Kurt,

    No, it doesn’t work the same way. Drawings use only the primary key of the field value record in the database to identify the file name of the drawing. Whereas photos can have a custom file name. That’s probably why it’s not working for you.

    So this is only useful if you export the records from Tap Form and import them to another device. The Drawing file names will be something like ABCD-1234-DEFG-BLAH-BLAH.jpg. Those file names are generated inside Tap Forms when you create a drawing. But they should be exported when you export your records.

    Thanks,

    Brendan
