Situation: I sucessfully upload a file called :physical_copy in my form partial "_a_partial.html.erb", which is used for creating new objects and editing existing objects at the same time
Code:
<%= f.file_field :physical_copy,
required: true,
class: 'form-control',
value: @tax_relevant_document.physical_copy %>
New & create works perfectly fine.
Problem: The file is not shown and hence deleted when editing, which is not the planned behavior. I can work around by first downloading and "re-uploading" but this shouldn't be the normal behavior.
Guess: This "value" thing looks awry to me but removal of the attribute didn't help.
I would like:
- edit view to show the existing filename in the field as basically value representation
- the form should include the existing attachment in the field
