Pre populate the file field, is it possible? #684

Hello,

I have an alpaca generated form and I have some pre-populated fields in it, all of them text or select fields. I used the default property to give them a default value on render and it works fine.

I also have some file type fields which I would like to pre populate. I tried to use the default property or the data object for this process but it doesn't seem to work. I know the browsers do not support the pre population of the file inputs but I thought it is possible through alpaca. Can you please give me any suggestion in this topic?

thanks

I wouldn't have thought so. this is a security feature - to stop server side requests grabbing a file off the client.

Also; there's no way alpaca can workaround what a browser does not support!
