Hi,
We have a form that allows a user to upload a file. If they upload a certain type of file (ie. gif) and then remove it and try to upload a file of a different type (ie. docx), there is an error message saying "The file must have the same extension as the previous version: docx". Furthermore, the workflow stops.
Is there a workaround for this?...

I am not sure the use case but one approach via flow could be to allow the upload of a new doc to a temp location. Then check if extension is same, if same allow new version and if not same, delete previous and move this doc to right location. There are a few variations that I could think of, but all would involve checking via flow.
Hope that gives you at least an idea.

We are running into the same issue even on 7.6. Is there any way for us to cause the file upload component to not remember the "removed" document? Also, is this a product defect, and is there any fix expected for it in upcoming release?
