Description

Describe the feature request This plugin, created by @andz-bb would be useful if implemented natively, as many apps require the user take a photograph and upload it, it would save the user headache from having to take a photo using a different app and reopen the budibase app

Plugin: https://github.com/andz-bb/budibase-component-camera
