The ability to select image resolution in the field settings.

Currently, the user is able to select what resolution photos should be taken in within the app settings, but this then requires that all users have the correct setting selected, which is prone to error. In addition, we do not need all image fields to be the highest possible resolution, only a select few, such as photos of nameplates and other labels. It would be very useful when adding in the image field to your app, to be able to select "low, medium, high, or native resolution".

You may want to check out our SETFORMATTRIBUTES data event to set the photo quality. An app admin can use this data event to control the photo quality at the form level. https://docs.fulcrumapp.com/docs/data-events-setformattributes

Katie Briggs SETFORMATATTRIBUTES leaves a lot to be desired currently.
Custom settings for individual media fields would be useful. Sometimes I want to force the user to upload photos from the device (as opposed to taking them in Fulcrum), but this isn't applicable for other fields. This is because we often use an app called Solocator to take photos; it allows for custom captioning and geospatial info. Being able to select a default camera app would also be very useful since the native Fulcrum camera is quite lacking in features.

Pete Zagorski Thank you for the feedback, much appreciated!

Katie Briggs Here are some more ideas I had to improve SETFORMATTRIBUTES
- Customize settings for different field users.
- record_creation setting. Some apps we use only have pre-populated records and issues arise when users create records in the field. This can't be handled with roles, because other apps require the same users to create records. My current workaround is to hide all fields on 'new-record' and alert the user they created a record. Unfortunately they can save that record and then re-open it because of a bug(new feature?) with 'validate-record' that allows the record to be saved as draft (even when drafts are disabled)
- save_to_gallery setting. Increases data security
- Basically all of the app settings
- Filter settings. Create forced custom filters in tandem with custom settings for individual users. Since records can only be assigned to one person, we often have users create filters on their devices. Some of our contractors are not as tech savvy as other which creates issues with getting the right filters set up.

It would save a lot of storage space if we could get photos automatically uploaded to a specified maximum resolution or file size.
