RE:Displaying attached document links dynamically on multiple products

Hello,

I would recommend that you upload the documents as CMS.File documents to a folder in the content tree. Then you can insert links via WYSIWYG editor to these files as well as to the internal or external pages. Please see here: Insert link overview.

You can add an Editable text web part on the Products documents and then you can insert the links there via WYSIWYG editor.

Any i did it using Html area control type. Thanks, Ram.

Hello,

yes, you can use the HTML area form control. There is also a Document selector form control, which allows to select a file from the content tree. However, it does not allow to select an external URL. There can be a Textbox for external URLs. This solution needs to know how much is the maximal number of links (you need one field for one link). The HTML area form control is more flexible because you can add any number of links.
