File Upload Questions

I see, it does not actually rename the file on the server.

Correct.

I have a checkbox that when checked opens the file upload field. I have this condition set in the file upload field.

display: field conditional self
field: checkbox field above the file upload
operator: not empty
mode: show

Checkbox can't really be empty. It's 1 or 0|NULL. You should use the following for checkbox conditions to be reliable.

Is Checked
Operator: Equal To
Value: 1
Translate Value: No

Is NOT Checked
Operator: Not Equal To
Value: 1
Translate Value: No

It works fine, when I check the box the file upload opens and I can upload a file, but when I press update it reloads and the checkbox is unchecked. It won't stay checked. This is how I have some other fields set to show up and they work. Is there some behavior with the upload that causes this? I tried it required and not reburied no difference.

I'm guessing you've multiple conditions on your checkbox. A field can only be conditioned once. Having multiple conditions on a field results in the conditions fighting for control. The value of the field is likely being reset as result of that.

Hello, so there is only one condition set here and it's on the checkbox to open the file upload. Should the condition be be set the other way around? Should the condition be on the file upload instead?

I seem to get these mixed up on which field should have the conditions.

Thanks

Your checkbox field is the field that isn't saving as checked, correct? You likely either have a conditional self or conditional others on the checkbox in that case. Yes, the file field should have the condition to show/hide the file field.

See below regarding CB Conditional 5.0.0 as the entire condition UX is being redone and improved. It won't be possible to configure condition conflicts anymore as well. CB Conditional 5.0.0 is releasing today or tomorrow.

I do have this on the file upload. I cannot find any other conditions set anywhere for this field or the checkbox. I am going to wait and set this when the update comes out now to see.

Unpublish CB Conditional then see if your checkbox field saves. This would let you know if it's indeed a condition causing it to not save.

Good idea, I unpublished the plugin and it still will not save. Any other reasons for this?
