Frappe Better Attach Control

A small plugin for Frappe that adds customization to the attach control. It supports RTL layout and dark mode out of the box.

---

Usage

1. Go to Customization > Customize Form
2. Enter the form doctype (Ex: 'User')
3. Scroll down to the fields area
4. Create an Attach or Attach Image field or edit an existing custom field
5. Inside the field's Options property, add the options you want as a JSON string. Example:

{"allowed_file_types": ["jpg", "png", "gif"]}

🔶 Remember

You can't modify the original fields of a doctype, so create a new field or clone and modify the entire doctype.
