CF8 - 8.0.18 - File Upload + Required

Multipage Form -> Site 5

Read Data
File Field (File Name Provider + Upload Directory + Field Class + Hint + Placeholder + Required)
+2 other File Fields without Required

Save Data on Submit

On the first run it works so far. I am prompted to upload a file. This is also stored in the DB.

When the form is opened again, the file name appears in the upload field on page 5, but I can't get any further. I'm asked to upload a file.

do you finish the form before you open it again or you stop before finishing ?

The form is completely filled out... Then I log out! But after logging in the field is required, despite the file being displayed. The first thing I did to help myself was to switch off as needed and check on the following page whether the field is empty or not. Not pretty, but it works for now.

so the form is fully completed and finished, but this file field only keeps it's value after a fresh form start ?

I just logged in again. Date is displayed and is also present. But, look for yourself!

File Field

my question is does this the only field in the form with the value kept after you open the form again ?

And did you "finish" the form, I mean did you reach the last page ?

70 fields are saved in the DB and of course also read out. There are 3 file fields on the affected page

The form has 6 pages. The problem occurs on the 5th page. The first pass completes the form.

are you able to produce the problem with a simple form of 2 or 3 pages and 3 fields or so ? that way I can test this

I'll check it tomorrow...

Test Form 3 Upload Fields + DB Read / DB Save Action - 1 Upload required

...

Hmm, where is my upload?

now?

did you try to upload a form and it did not work ? what is the file extension and size ?

Upload.cf8bak ~ 3KiB

Upload.cf8bak.zip

Good morning... 11 days have now passed without an answer/reaction. Apparently this fatal error cannot be corrected?

Is the problem obviously not solvable?

I think this is because you have a "Read data" with "Data merge", so it loads the saved file name to the form

Can you produce the problem with a test form which has no "Read data" or "Save data" ? just a 2 or 3 pages form with few fields including a file upload with the problem

But I need "Read Data" with "Data merge"! When the form is called for the second time, the uploads should also be read from the database and a new file should only be uploaded if necessary.

so the problem is that the file name is read from the database but it is still being requested and a required error is shown, correct ?

Yes, exactly!
