def attach(*attachables)
  if record.persisted? && !record.changed?
    record.public_send("#{name}=", blobs + attachables.flatten)
    record.save
  else
    record.public_send("#{name}=", (change&.attachables || blobs) + attachables.flatten)
  end
end

Attaches one or more attachables to the record.

If the record is persisted and unchanged, the attachments are saved to the database immediately. Otherwise, they'll be saved to the DB when the record is next saved.

# File activestorage/lib/active_storage/attached/many.rb, line 62
