Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Would love the capability to add drafts to ongoing projects. Say the individuals are utilizing the application for graphic design work, would love to attach revisions or iterations to certain tasks.

Describe the solution you'd like A method of accomplishing this is potentially just have a file location saved to a certain drive/folder for the file to exist. Such as a pointer instead of saving the file into the application memory. Saves on storage and all you would have to do is add an extra form field that takes in the link to the file location on the individual's drive.

Describe alternatives you've considered An alternative for the meantime is just copying file location into the description of the task for the time being.

Additional context Would love to help out with this if you need any help. Thanks again!

Thanks for your suggestion! This is a good idea and I will definitely consider adding it. For now, I'll need a bit of time to consider the exact details of the execution and seeing what's possible before being able to 100% say if I can add this feature. Will keep you updated if there's any news or progress on this feature.

I was considering just that! I have a few cards that reference (in the card text) the location of a file with a full description (the outline of a novel and its characters).

I too believe the best implementation would be to add an Attachments section to the card, and that rather than including the object, it will store only a URL (file://) to the actual object. It doesn't bloat the application data with stale objects
