Can you share how you created that form or direct to documentation to accomplish that? Thanks. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/why-gf-duplicate-uploaded-images#post-72185 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 18:08:44 +0000 Chris Hajer 72185@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>From the lead developer:</p> <blockquote><p>We decided to keep them separate so that one doesn't affect the other. For example, if the file was placed in the media library only, and then the post were deleted, the entry would be missing the image. To change that behavior, your could use the gform_after_submission to delete the file and change the entry to point to the file in the media library folder. </p></blockquote> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/why-gf-duplicate-uploaded-images#post-72168 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 15:59:37 +0000 Chris Hajer 72168@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You're right about that.
