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.
