Hello,

My form has an upload file and I had auto server side validation on it. The steps after submit, on success, are Check Captcha, Auto Server Side Validation, Upload Files, DB Save, show Thank you message, and send email. The issue is I could not pass the server side validation for the file upload. It always display "This field should NOT be empty.".
So I change the order after submit to Check Captcha, Upload Files, Auto Server Side Validation, DB Save, show Thank you message, and send email. This time, no server validation, no error, no data in database, but saw Thank you message and received email.
Did I miss something on the order or the setting?

Thank you,
Nilubon

Hello nilubon03,
I'm not a Chrono professional, but after checking your new post, I think that the following links may help:
Handling serverside validation errors . . .
How can I add Auto Serverside Validation?
How do I use Custom Serverside validation?
How can I run Auto and Custom Serverside Validation together?
P.S: I'm just an automated service😉

Thank you, I checked on FAQ under validation section, but it did not help me to fix my issue.

The server validation should be after the upload, if you want to check the file is not empty, if this doesn't work for you then please post a screenshot for the events section in your form!

Thank you Max,

Attached is the setting that did not work. This is a behavior of this setting with JavaScript turned off. When I click submit without enter anything, it asked me to enter the reCaptcha code. When I entered only verification code and click submit, it sent to Thank you message and I received email notification. There is no server validation at all and no DB Save.

Please advise.

Thank you,

Nilubon

Thanks Max for the tips, it worked. I learned new thing today. Attached is a new order on the action tab to make auto server side validation works with the upload file.

Hi Nilubon,

In general I suggest that you avoid using the On Success events wherever possible. It complicates your form and makes debugging more difficult. Keep the main events one after the other in the main On Submit event.
