This is my new favorite feature, thank you! 😃 I’ll be testing out and will report any issues I may come up with; here is the first one:
I’m trying a simple form with an upload field, but the uploads field just errors:
> Sorry, there was an error uploading my-image-1.jpg. Please try again.
My upload field:
```yaml
- type: upload
id: screenshots
attributes:
file_types: ".jpg, .png, .gif"
allow_multiple: true
label: "Screenshots"
description: "If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your issue."
```
1. I fill out the form for all required fields, including the composer Title field.
2. Click on the “Upload” button, select a valid image file.
3. Upload fails, and modal shows up to display the error.
I also checked the settings; the `jpg` file extension is in the authorized extensions list.

I’m seeing this warning when I upload from my iPhone, though the upload does actually go through. On desktop it behaves fine (windows/firefox).
Which browser/device are you using?

Actually, I may have been too hasty as I don’t think I’m seeing the same warning. Let me have another look. 👀

Hey @JammyDodger I only tested it on [my desktop browser](https://arc.net/) actually:

After a little ask around, it may already be fixed by this:
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/23935](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/23935)
So hopefully updating your site should make everything come good. 🤞

Confirming the upload works.
However, found another related bug: It doesn’t respect the `allow_multiple: true` option.
- I tried it once now selecting 3 images to upload at once.
- I noticed that images were uploaded, one after another, updating the preview line below the upload button.
- Once I saved it, I found the last uploaded image shown only.

Hi Osman,
I wanted to confirm with you that we’ve deployed your site, which includes the [FIX: add missing `type` to form template upload by renato · Pull Request #23935 · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/23935) update, so this should resolve the issues you were running into here.
If you still have any trouble with uploading files as you were describing here, please let us know. 🙂

Hi @SaraDev My test forms are on [https://brighton-offsite-september-2023.discourse.group/](https://brighton-offsite-september-2023.discourse.group/) actually; an expired trial version; incase you’d like to check out its logs.
I checked the versions; it is using a later commit, so it should include that fix:
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/373b2ca36246405e80e5822da7421e668d7f1c8f](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/373b2ca36246405e80e5822da7421e668d7f1c8f)

Hey @gormus,
Thank you for the feedback!
There’s indeed another issue with the uploads in combination with the `enable_direct_s3_uploads` site setting.
We’re working on a fix and we’ll let you know when it hits `tests-passed`.

Hi @gormus,
We recently fixed the `allow_multiple` uploads issue, as well as another one regarding the `file_types` validation.
Please let us know if you encounter any other issues.
Thank you!
