What could be causing the issue with the "File Upload" not working in one form but working fine in another form on my Webflow page?

There could be several reasons why the "File Upload" is not working in one form but working fine in another form on your Webflow page. Here are some possible causes and solutions:

  1. Field settings: Check the settings of the "File Upload" field in both forms and compare them. Make sure that the settings, such as the maximum file size, file types allowed, and the required status, are consistent between the two forms. If there are any differences, adjust the settings accordingly.

  2. Form settings: Review the form settings for both forms to ensure that they are configured correctly. Double-check if the "File Upload" field is properly linked to the correct form submission handling or integration settings. If there are any discrepancies, update the settings accordingly.

  3. Form interactions: If you have added any interactions to the forms, ensure that they are not interfering with the "File Upload" functionality. Check for any conflicting interactions or custom code that might affect the file upload process. Consider temporarily disabling interactions to see if this resolves the issue.

  4. Browser compatibility: Test the forms on different browsers to see if the issue occurs consistently across all browsers or if it is browser-specific. Certain browser settings or restrictions might prevent the file upload from working correctly. If the issue is browser-specific, you may need to adjust the settings or troubleshoot further based on the specific browser.

  5. Form submissions limit: Webflow has a submission limit for forms based on your chosen plan. If you have reached the form submission limit, the "File Upload" functionality might be disabled. Make sure you have not exceeded your form submission limit, and if you have, consider upgrading your plan or deleting unnecessary form submissions.

  6. Third-party integrations: If you have integrated third-party services with your forms, such as Zapier or Mailchimp, check if there are any known issues or conflicts with the "File Upload" functionality. Review the integration settings and make sure they are properly configured.

  7. Custom code: If you have added any custom code to your Webflow page or forms, review it to see if there are any errors or conflicts that might affect the "File Upload" functionality. Try disabling the custom code temporarily to see if it resolves the issue.

In summary, troubleshooting the issue with the "File Upload" not working in one form but working fine in another form requires checking the field settings, form settings, interactions, browser compatibility, form submission limits, third-party integrations, and custom code. By systematically reviewing these factors, you should be able to identify and resolve the problem.
