Uploaded file name does not display in the UI

SA-74898

Summary



After selecting and uploading a file, the file name does not persist on the UI and displays No File Chosen instead.


Error Messages



Not Applicable


Steps to Reproduce

  1. Configure a section to add the FilePath control to a property.
  2. Launch the harness to view the section to view the FilePath control.
  3. Choose any file.
  4. Upload the file. The file name is set back to No File Chosen.


Root Cause



An issue in the custom configuration.
 
The FilePath control uses the browser's file HTML element which internally sets the file name to that control. This is performed when any file is selected and the file name cleared after an upload/rerender.

Note: With the FilePath control, the application contains the reference of the filename where it is uploaded and not to display the selected file name.


Resolution



Perform the following local-change to display the file name:
  1. Read the pxRequestor.pyFileUpload property to write a custom control and display the file name from it.

    Note: The pxRequestor.pyFileUpload property still holds the uploaded file name and is set as the value to that file HTML tag.
     
  2. Use the label or any other control to display the uploaded file name which is present in pxRequestor.pyFileUpload property.
