I have a multi-field form. There are multiple file upload areas on the page. If a users fails to complete all necessary fields but uploads images when the form is returned with a validation error all form upload fields show as if the user didn't completed them. I would like to let the users know a file has been received and not force them to upload it again.
It doesn't work with normal validation or custom validation. Thanks
There is no way to pre-populate these fields when an error occurs due to browser security constraints. Browsers don't allow forms and web applications to pre-populate the upload input type. This is for security reasons, if they did, it would allow malicious sites to do this behind the scenes and cause you to upload sensitive files without your consent.
Nope. Any files uploaded when validation triggered are temporary and will be cleaned up as part of a clean up process. Files are moved to the final location and fully stored only after the form submission process is fully complete.
