Thread: Attachment not reloading when form is incorrectly submitted

Attachment not reloading when form is incorrectly submitted

More of a border-line bug or an improvement request to the applications form processing script...

When a user applies for a job but fails to fill in a compulsory form field or incorrectly fills in, say, the captcha field, the form reloads with the error messages at the top (in pink) and the fields reload with the info that the user attempted to submit. This is all good, except the attachment fields don't reload with the attachment file info.

The problem with this is that the user may correct the incorrect or missing field data previously submitted but may not notice that their attachment info has been removed. They then resubmit the correctly completed form, minus the attachment unaware that their resume was stripped when the form was reloaded.

The job lister then receives the application email without any resume or cover letter attached.

Can we please have this form processing script improved to reload invalid forms with the attachment data?

Cheers
