File Upload values lost on failed capcha
Hi john.murray,
It isn't possible* to re-load them. The entries are local paths on the user's computer - they aren't uploaded so can't be restored. Only the file name is available - and that probably hasn't been passed on the ChronoForms as the Files Upload action hasn't run.
The safest solution is to use a two page form, put the Captcha on the first page with some basic inputs then add the file uploads on a second page once you have confirmed the user is OK.

* Not strictly true in HTML5 but ChronoForms and many older browsers don't support the functionality.
