file upload (dropzone) with validate: required can not be submitted

[stephan-strate]

Creating a file upload (frontend form) with required: true leads to form being not submittable (with file selected and without). Error in console: An invalid form control with name='' is not focusable.. Tried to investigate it myself, but did not find any documentation on making dropzone fields required. In Grav documentation it is listed as a valid common attribute. It also marks the field as required using *.

Example code:

form:
  name: testform
  buttons:
    submit:
      value: Send
      type: submit
  fields:
    -
      label: File
      name: myfile
      type: file
      destination: user/data/form
      accept:
        - '*'
      multiple: false
      filesize: 10
      avoid_overwriting: true
      random_name: false
      validate:
        required: true
  process:
    save:
      body: '{% include ''forms/data.txt.twig'' %}'
      operations: add
      filename: form.txt

Versions: Grav: v1.7.6 Form: v5.0.0 (did not work in version before as well)

Yeah, required doesn't work with any file fields.

Yeah, required doesn't work with any file fields.

Thanks for confirmation. Do you think this is something that can be fixed? Just want to ask before I dig into it.

It is somewhat tricky to fix as the form is also used to save existing data. I think it is possible to get it working, though.
