Major bugs
[list=1]Email file attachment bug: At around line 150 of form_actions/email/email.php is this block of code
this section .$form->files[$attachment]['name'] is missing from the end of the third line.
Repeated actions are not handled correctly. Only the last is used (found in relation to the Multi-language event).
Fix requires two changes. In com_chronoforms/libraries/chronoform.php find the function _processAction() around line 128 and replace
The <form . . .> tag is output twice.
Fix is to comment out line 84 of cfaction_show_html.php
The 'Copy form' icon in the toolbar copies the form elements but not the Actions that have been assigned. There is a fix in this post. [/list:o]
Minor bugs

[*]There is a small bug around ine 26 of administrator/components/com_chronforms/form_actions/upload_files/upload_files.php where $MyForm->xxx appears in place of $form->form_details (I forget exactly what the xxx part was). This prevents ChronoForms from creating the uploads folder if it doesn't already exist.

[*]File name substitution in Email & Thank you page bug: the fix is in form_actions/upload_files/upload_files.php around line 90 where one extra line is required.[code]if($uploaded_file){
$form->files[$file_data[0]] = array('name' => $file_name, 'path' => $upload_path, 'size' => $file_post["size"]);

$form->debug[] = $upload_path.$file_name.' has been uploaded OK.';
$this->events['success'] = 1;
}else{[/code]
Once this line is added the file name substitution works in the Email and Thank you page code.
