Can't submit if all file uploads aren't complete

Hi!

I'm having a problem with a form. It has 5 file uploads, but none of them are mandatory. But if I don't try to upload 5 files, it doesn't send the form and it gives an error telling me how many file uploads I'm missing (see attached image).

The form's code is:

<div class="form_item">
  <div class="form_element cf_heading">
    <h2 class="cf_text">Edit hostel information</h2>
  </div>
  <div class="cfclear"> </div>
</div>

<div class="form_item">
  <div class="form_element cf_text"> <span class="cf_text">Complete this form if you need to change some information about a hostel already listed in our website.</span> </div>

Do you know how to fix this? Thanks!

Hi arielb,

Is this the latest ChronoForms version 3.2?

If so there's a bug in the File upload code. Please see this post.

Awesome! Thank you so much!
