I have a SAIL form, which is used by the Start Form, as well as User Input Task (so the form can be edited later). The SAIL Form has a fileUploadField, and the uploaded document is written to a PV. The fileUploadField works in Start Form, the uploaded document is saved the Process Variable. But when I went to Edit task, I tried to upload different document, but the PV that holds the document still kept the original value (from the start form), while the value from other text fields are saved. Here is the code snippet:

1. SAIL form (upload field only) :
a!fileUploadField(
label: "Select file to upload",
instructions: "Any format is acceptable.",
required: true,
target: ri!tempFolder,
value: ri!fileContent,
saveInto: ri!fileContent
)

2. Invoke the SAIL form (from Start Form and User Input Task):

rule!display_form(pv!fileContent)

3. Both ri!fileContent and pv!fileContent are document type....

Any idea what might be wrong? Maybe I should use different PV to hold the documents from Start Form and Edit Activity? Thanks.

For start forms you use pv! but for task forms you use ac! which are node inputs (inputs tab) that you map to a process variable.

Thanks, it works. After your post, I went to SAIL Form tutorial, it mentioned using ac! variable for managing the changing data, but I missed that. That section should be emphasized.
