Ajax Validation ImageField. Possibly bug?

[nikolaysm]

Hello, I am using django 1.11.

When i do update object with Ajax i get error for ImageField.

That is "FileExtensionValidator" from django who expects an object for validation but a unicode is given.

Thanks for replying Full Traceback

Could be solved by adding below function in "DropFileWidget"

def value_from_datadict(self, data, files, name):
        """
        Given a dictionary of data and this widget's name, return the value
        of this widget or None if it's not provided.
        """
        tmp = data.get(name)
        if tmp and len(tmp) == 1:
            tmp = tmp.get('current_file')
        return tmp
