You can also use the
[]to traverse the array:
ProjectImages[]{
asset->{
_id,
url
}
}@sanity/image-urlpackage to generate URLs from the
_id/
_ref, that is without having to join in the asset document. https://www.sanity.io/docs/image-url

If you have an array of images, you can drag and drop multiple files onto it. We should probably improve the UX so that you can also get a file selector that allows multiple files though.

You have to add the caption for the image in the fields array.
You can find an example here

Thank you Harshal. I initially tried that but then I only get a single caption field for the entire array of multiple images.What I'm trying to do is attach a unique caption to each image within my array - do you know if this is doable?Thanks again!
