Wrong description for display custom format?

[Sonya*]

I have created a custom field in database of type Upload (Allow multiple). I would like to display uploaded images in the Lightbox widget. In the description of Display custom field is stated: If using mulitple uploads, $value is an array of File Objects. However it seems to be an array of strings and not File Objects, as this code fails:

Error: Call to a member function thumbnail() on string (0)

Try loading the file

$image = \IPS\File::get( 'theStorageLocation', $value );

Then 

$image->url

etc etc

I've already done. This is just a kind of "bug" submission that docs in description is wrong. 😉

The upload field is behaving different within pages, please see  ( just mentioning it here for the people which find this topic via the search ) 

I guess we could and should update the description 🙂
