AI-generated from the code · Odoo 17.0

Adds two new survey question types that let respondents upload one or several files as their answer, with optional limits on file type and size.

This module extends the Surveys app so that when you build a survey you can choose two new question types: "Binary" (a single file upload) and "Multiple: Binary" (several file uploads).

On the question form, when one of these types is selected, two extra settings appear: allowed file MIME types (for example image/png,image/jpeg) and a maximum file size in bytes, defaulting to 50 MB. Leaving them empty allows any file type or size.

Respondents see a file upload control on the survey page and can attach files. The system checks the answer: if the question is mandatory and no file is given, an error is shown; if the file type is not in the allowed list, or the file is larger than the maximum, the answer is rejected with a clear message. These checks also run when answers are saved.

In the back office, each uploaded file is stored as its own record with its filename, detected MIME type, size and a flag telling whether it is an image. On the answer line, files are shown in a small kanban card with an image preview or a document icon (PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, text, code, zip), plus filename, MIME type and size. Single-file answers display the filename; multi-file answers display the number of files. A dedicated form view shows the file details.
