The setup:
- Advanced post creation form
- File Upload field → set to REQUIRED
- Post creation feed → file upload field mapped to “featured image”, post editing is enabled, but editing the file upload (featured image) is not allowed (some text fields and custom fields can be edited)
So when a user creates a post including the required image upload the post gets published fine. The featured image is mapped correctly.
BUT, when the user wants to edit his post, he can’t because he can not edit the featured image, AND since the file upload of the featured image is a required field, he can’t get past that requirement either. So basically there’s no editing possible.
What am I doing wrong? Why doesn’t the file upload field for the featured image in the post editing accept the fact that there is a file present already?
PS: But even if it was allowed to edit the file upload field after creation, I’d guess it would require the user to upload another file (or the same) again, which is kinda stupid.
