    I am unable to create multiple objects with a master-detail relationship using the Salesforce connector - in my case, a custom object with lookup on the Contact ID. I get a validation error on the email field of my custom object. It looks like FA is concatenating the values from the different fields that map to the same field type in Salesforce.

    Is there a way to tell FA that it needs to create separate instances of the object or attachment rather than concatenating?

    Hello Evan,

    Due to limitations in the API, FormAssembly can only create a single record of a given type per form submission ( with the exception of repeatable entries ). There are three work arounds for this issue:
    1. Mark the section in the webform containing the fields for the attachments as 'repeatable', then delete and remap the fields in the Salesforce connector. A prompt will appear to give you the option to 'send repeated sections as separate records'.
    2. Create a workflow, and have a form for each set of records to be submitted. As an example, a Contact creation form, followed by a picture attachment form, then a resume attachment form.
    3. Wait for our beta of the new Salesforce connector which will use an updated API with this limitation removed. We hope to have this available for testers next week.

    Happy to answer further questions,
    FA Support.

    Just a minute ago I figured out how to do this using repeatable entries.

    Thanks for your extraordinarily quick response!

    Looks like the new Salesforce connector works the way I had initially wanted to do this. Thanks again.
