 * Hi
    I have a form with multiple fields. Once a user submits the form but receives
   a validation error message on any of the fields, all the data they had placed
   in the fields, including file uploads, is gone and they have to start all over
   again. I’d like to know if it’s possible to keep the data of the validated fields,
   even after the form had displayed a validation error for any of the fields Thanks
