Validate data before uploading async

[Alex]

Hi

I try to use the upload widget in async mode to present a progress bar.

I add a bunch of form data within the upload event which works fine. Now I would like to validate the form data before uploading the file. If I do this in the upload event as well and set e.preventDefault() if validation fails, the list of selected files is cleared in the upload widget which doesn't make sense in this scenario as the customer is forced to correct the form data AND select the images again.

Is there a way to validate data before uploading a file without loosing the list of selected files?

 

Regards

Hello Alex,

The current behavior is by design - if the upload event is prevented, the list files is cleared. I would suggest to reconsider the approach and validate the rest of the form data earlier.

Hi

thank you for your reply. That's what I expected. I solved the problem by validation in the select event. It is not completely intuitive as the customers cannot select an image before having filled all form values correctly. Its much more common that validation occurs on blur or when trying to send the form / upload the image but it works.

Thank you very much for your support.
