Re-uploading the same file after deletion fails #446
Description
Describe the bug
When a user uploads a file successfully after a page refresh, everything works as expected. However, if the user clicks the "delete" button and then attempts to re-upload the exact same file (same name and content), the upload does not proceed—the file appears to be ignored or silently rejected by the system.
What happened?
- Steps to Reproduce:
- Refresh the page.
- Upload a file (e.g., example.pdf) – upload succeeds.
- Click the delete button to remove example.pdf.
- Attempt to re-upload example.pdf again – upload fails.
- Expected Behavior:
After deleting a file, the system should allow re-uploading the same file as if it were a new upload. - Actual Behavior:
The system blocks the re-upload of the same file after deletion, treating it as a duplicate or invalid submission. - Impact:
- This issue blocks users from re-uploading the same file unless they refresh the entire page.
- It's a poor user experience, especially in scenarios where a file was accidentally deleted and the user immediately wants to re-upload it.
- May cause confusion or lead users to think the upload system is broken.
- Suggested Fix (Optional):
You might need to reset the file input or clear the internal file reference/cache when a file is deleted to allow re-uploading the same file.
