    Hi is it possible to have and play a media file (field type?) within TapForms

    I know other apps do it better, but I was able to import an MP3 playlist including the path to mp3 files; wondered if there was a way to play the mp3 files within Tap Forms

    Ditto for a directory of video files

    You can add a File Attachment field to your form and add your MP3 files to it.

    For video files since they’re quite large, I would recommend adding them as aliases to the File Attachment field. That’s for the Mac version only though. Aliases aren’t supported on iOS.

    Then when you double-click on a file in the File Attachment field, Tap Forms will launch the app on your Mac which plays that media file type. On iOS the media file will be played within Tap Forms.
