Summary

From a multivalue-filefield with 3 values in it, a token like [entityform:field-file] returns Property 0, Property 1, Property 2.
But [entityform:field-file:file] returns nothing.

Details

Currently, all tokens on a multivalue-filefield will lead to a fatal error.
After applying the patch here #1440928-44: Entity tokens for multi-value fields produce a fatal error, the fatal error is gone for multi-value file field token. But adding properties like :file or :file:url still returns no values at all...

A (poor) workaround is to output each value separately:
[entityform:field-file:0:file] = shows the 1st file uploaded
[entityform:field-file:1:file] = shows the 2nd file uploaded
[entityform:field-file:2:file] = shows the 3rd file uploaded
etc.

I really doubt if I should have to list each and every file uploaded this way ? Since my file field is of unlimited value, how do I know the number of files uploaded by user ? Why can't I use [entityform:field-file:file] or [entityform:field-file:*:file] to automatically list out all the files uploaded ? Other field types have no problems listing all the values being bound with it. Currently, only File Field has to be specified as tested above.

Are you saying you're able to get a field url using the token above? I've tried [node:field-image:0:file:url] but that doesn't even seem to work for me (and I do only want the first file).

Yes, i get a full url like http://... ...jpg
Do u get anything if you try a less specific part ofyour token? Like [node:field-image:0]

@sirtet — Hmm, after trying [node:field-image:0:file:url] in Metatag and running it through Facebook's Debugger, they do pull the correct image. Not sure why I couldn't figure that one out!

Thank Internet, @Klonos, @sirtet, @MrPeanut.

I was looking for how to use Media Module's File Entity Field to set a token for Metatag Image fields. This did the trick:

[node:field-image:0:file:url]

It is helpful to note that clearing the page on Facebook's Debugger or Twitter's Card Validator a few times is necessary if the url has already been shared on Facebook or Twitter.

I having the same issues with multi-value fields. I want to reference the description data for each uploaded file and use this text to rename the uploaded file.

If i reference it by putting in a number it will work [entityform:field-file:0:description] but i dont want to reference it this way since they are many files.

Can we use something like this: [entityform:field-file:*:description]?
