Issue

  • File input resets after changing the Document Type in Documents and Media File Upload

  • Steps to reproduce:
    1. Create a Document Type
    2. Create a folder in Documents and Media
    3. Navigate to the folder
    4. Click File Upload
    5. Choose a file
    6. Change Document Type (the page reloads, thus the file input resets)
    7. Click Publish
    Expected Behavior: A warning/validation error message is shown when the user hits Publish with an empty File input
    Observed Behavior: The file upload is 'successful', but no file is actually uploaded.
