Hi Guys

i have a form with a required field and an image field.
a problem happens when I insert a new record via the for and the required field is not filled in.
A small icon with the message that a field is required comes at the place where an uploaded image is shown.

easy to reprocude
make a single form with an image field and a required field , try to insert a new record , upload an image but do not fill the require field. Bum, the message comes , but the uploaded image is gone. my clients complain that they have to upload heavy images twice if they forget a required field.

i think it is a bug. all other fields keep their values after the warning , but the image field dies.

please help

with kind regards
Maxim

Hi
I ended up implementing my own upload form,
SC upload does not support multiple images upload anyway,
also , if users upload several images from IOS camera, IOS gives images the same name like image.png, you end up loosing the images. with your own upload form, you can name images as you wish.

i posted code on github

github.com

maximnl/scriptcase/blob/main/file_upload

SC does not support upload of multiple images at once (if you save file normally in a folder). 
Also by upload of multiple camera images from IOS, the files get standard name image.png, so the second image will overwrite the first one if several shots are made
for the same order (camera images go in the same order name folder).

in your images grid , i make button NEW, which will open an upload form

In this form make a data type = Label field FileUpload. This field will get proper HTML with two links , one for Camera and one for Files. 

Form Fields:
FileUpload - label
FotoFile  Image type
FotoSequenceNumber - choice of image size to be shown in the application (this is my app specific)
SaveNew - label type


Several form events need to be made:

onLoad. in my case images are kept per order folder, kept in macro var [OrderFolder]. [ImageName] is a temp macro variable of type OUT

{OrderFolder}=[OrderFolder];
