Is there way to define file type for upload using "file" type field ? In CB Fields Management I am not able to see this option for field type "File" and "Image" . I am facing issues in registration (partial user creation/registration) when user tries to upload "docx" in "image" field.
I need to correct the observation. It is field type "Image" not "File". When on "Image" field user is uploading docx then he is getting server side validation(infact it seem to exception and not SSV error handling) but the same time user got created but he is not aware as on screen he is getting error message. This is an issue. Also I called this as partial user creation as first user is not expected to get created and second the CB triggers are not auto fired on such registered user, so his profile data is partial.
CB 1.x does not have browser side file input validation. That's a recent addition to CB 2.x in CB 2.0.6. You'll need to upgrade if you want browser side file input validation. Image fields do not allow any filetype you want. It's for images only. For docx files you need to use the CB File Fieldtype plugin or upgrade to CB 2.x where the file fieldtype is built into CB.

I really appreciate CB but sometime decision to upgrade to new version takes time.
So you mean if any user by mistake uploads a docx in image field then it is correct to allow partial user creation and it will continue to happen in CB 1.9.1 ?
We have added browser side validation to not allow such file pick other then image extension. it is not a correct fix as docx can be rename to .png and then again same issue will come but still we can reduce number of such mistakes

Yes, that'll continue to happen on CB 1.x. It will not on CB 2.x where the registration would be rejected. In fact on CB 2.x as long as they've a modern browser they won't be able to submit the form at all due to the file input extension and mimetype validation.
