Uploading multiple images with fr:image-attachment

Looked closely at the FR persistence model, it seems that for each bind we are only able to only upload one image. For example,

			<xforms:instance id="fr-form-instance">
				<data xmlns="">
					<photo filename="" mediatype="" size=""/>
					<photo filename="" mediatype="" size=""/>
					<photo filename="" mediatype="" size=""/>
				</data>
			</xforms:instance>

			<xforms:bind id="photo-bind" nodeset="photo" type="xs:anyURI" required="false()"/>
...
			<fr:image-attachment bind="photo-bind" class="fr-attachment">
				<xforms:filename ref="@filename" />
				<xforms:mediatype ref="@mediatype" />
				<xxforms:size ref="@size" />
			</fr:image-attachment>

..only uploads one (the first) image. Putting a repeat around the image-attachment doesn't work because image-attachment/@bind must refer to the bind/@id.

Are there any plans to add this functionality? It will be definitely be required by our project in the future.

Many thanks,
Gino

Gino,

Yes, we would like to add the support for repeats in Form Builder, but
this is not on our immediate plan, unless a client moves forward to
sponsor this feature.
