+#### Upload Button Auto-Disable in the UI
+
+When `maxCount` is configured, the plugin automatically computes a virtual boolean field (e.g. `isAttachmentsUploadable`) on the parent entity at read time and sets it to `false` when the limit is reached. To wire this up in your Fiori UI so the **Upload button is automatically disabled**, follow the steps below.
+
+**1. Declare the virtual field on the parent entity**
+
+Add a `virtual` boolean field for each `maxCount` annotated composition directly on the parent entity in your CDS schema. The field name must follow the pattern `is` + capitalised composition name + `Uploadable`:
+
+```cds
+entity Books : managed, cuid {
+  // ... other fields ...
+  virtual isAttachmentsUploadable : Boolean;
+  virtual isReferencesUploadable  : Boolean;
+
+  attachments : Composition of many Attachments @SDM.Attachments:{maxCount: 4};
+  references  : Composition of many Attachments @SDM.Attachments:{maxCount: 2};
+}
+```
+
+- For a composition named `attachments` declare `virtual isAttachmentsUploadable : Boolean`.
+- For `references` declare `virtual isReferencesUploadable : Boolean`, and so on.
+- Virtual fields are never stored in the database; the plugin populates them at read time.
+
+**2. Disable the Upload button via `InsertRestrictions`**
+
+Annotate each attachment entity in your service to bind its insertability to the virtual field on the parent:
+
+```cds
+annotate MyService.Books.attachments with @(
+  Capabilities: {InsertRestrictions: {Insertable: up_.isAttachmentsUploadable}}
+);
+```
+
+- Replace `MyService.Books.attachments` with your service and entity path.
+- Repeat for every composition facet that has a `maxCount`.
+
+**3. Refresh the parent after attachment changes via `SideEffects`**
+
+After an upload or deletion, Fiori must re-read the parent entity to pick up the updated virtual field and reflect the new button state. Add a named `Common.SideEffects` annotation on the parent entity:
+
+```cds
+annotate MyService.Books with @(
+  Common.SideEffects #attachmentsUploadable: {
+    SourceEntities: ['attachments'],
+    TargetProperties: ['']
+  }
+);
+```
+
+- `SourceEntities: ['attachments']` — triggers the refresh when the `attachments` list changes.
+- `TargetEntities: ['']` — re-fetches the parent entity (`Books`) so the updated `isAttachmentsUploadable` value is returned to the UI.
+- The qualifier (e.g. `#attachmentsUploadable`) can be any unique name; it is only needed to distinguish multiple `SideEffects` annotations on the same entity.
+
+**Example with multiple facets**
+
+If an entity has several `maxCount`-annotated compositions, add one `virtual field` declaration, one `InsertRestrictions`, and one `SideEffects` per facet:
+
+
+```cds
+annotate MyService.Books.attachments with @(
+  Capabilities: {InsertRestrictions: {Insertable: up_.isAttachmentsUploadable}}
+);
+
+annotate MyService.Books.references with @(
+  Capabilities: {InsertRestrictions: {Insertable: up_.isReferencesUploadable}}
+);
+
+annotate MyService.Books with @(
+  Common.SideEffects #attachmentsUploadable: {
+    SourceEntities: ['attachments'],
+    TargetProperties: ['isAttachmentsUploadable']
+  },
+  Common.SideEffects #referencesUploadable: {
+    SourceEntities: ['references'],
+    TargetProperties: ['isAttachmentsUploadable']
+  }
+);
+```
