Feature Request: Multi Select Image Control Type

Beta
#1

Hi, Currently if you want to create/populate a gallery you have to use the “type” : “group[]” which is great for a lot of things but makes population for client very very slow if they had 50 media items e.g. you could spend 20+ mins more with captions vs 1 min in the WordPress media multi select. lets not forget that we can access the meta info attached to the Wordpress media elements which can save a ton of time also.

The only workaround currently to get this functionality is to setup an ACF field and they populate via the classic editor but this is far to confusing for users to find.

I imagine if Themeco tackled this they might add their own special sauce but on its own I think this could be a great addition used by everyone for population.

Thanks!

We can certainly look at a new control type. Like “select-many”, but for a single control type and not just “select”. I added a feature request in our system. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks Charlie. Really hope this one makes it in as there is no other builder that can take advantage of images better than this one. Fuel for the fire!
