Upload Document with default save button does't work

vasilisg over 7 years ago

Hi,

We are working on Appian 16.3 (appian cloud) and we have the following form issue: we have created a form that has a fileUploadField() component, we upload the document and then press the save button and when reopening the form the document has been lost.

In order to fix this issue, we have created a custom save submit button that saves the documentId to a variable so when reopening the form, the document is shown uploaded.

So now the problem has been tranformed into how to remove the default save button?

Any advice is appreciated,
Thank you.

Yes the button is a!buttonWidgetSubmit,

Here is the scenario: I have a form with multiple fields and one document to be uploaded, The user fills some of the fields and uploads a document but hasn't completed all fields so he wishes to temporary save the form and continue later. This function is supposed to be taken care of by using the default save button on top. However when the default save button is pressed the document is lost which is clearly a bug of the default save button functionality.

That is the reason we created our own custom a!buttonWidgetSubmit which works as it should. We have no problem with our own a!buttonWidgetSubmit, we have a problem with the default save button form on top of the page which doesn't work.

So, either the default save button should be fixed by supporting temporary documents or it should be removed so that is replaced by our own.
