 * Hi,
    If I have a paginated form and there is a multi upload field with an upload:–
   if user goes back/forward in form pages the same attachment is uploaded multiple
   times – if user hits next and a required field is not valid (e.g. invalid email
   or empty field) then it uploads the same attachment again
 * I have tested on two servers. Word Press 5.7 (latest) and latest forminator plugin.
   Apache server. Linux. PHP 7.4
 * Thanks

 * Hi [@mrbleuu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrbleuu/),
 * Thank you for contacting us.
 * A similar behavior was reported, but this was fixed by recent version. Are you
   currently using any caching plugin or caching setting on the server? If so, please
   proceed to purge all cache or temporarily deactivate and retest. Another option
   is to enable Ajax load from withing Forminator settings > Behaviour > Rendering.
 * If the issue persists, please proceed to export the form to a drive and share
   the link with us here so that we can test this further.

 * No that does not fix the problem. I’ve tried doing it on a fresh install with
   no other plugins too.
 * Here is a test form. Once you upload a file, go forward then back. You will see
   multiple copies of the file. Everytime you go forward/back, more copies are uploaded

 * Hi [@mrbleuu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrbleuu/),

   I’m reporting this bug to our team’s attention so that we could further check
   and see if there is any quick fix that could be looked at regarding this.
 * Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
 * Kind Regards,

 * Hi [@mrbleuu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrbleuu/)
 * Thank you for the update,
 * I’m afraid we can’t give an estimated time to release a fixed version however
   our developers are already working to fix it.
 * Kindly keep the eyes on the plugin update and changelog.
 * We are marking this ticket as resolved, for now, however, feel free to re-open
   or ping us if you have any additional question.
 * Best Regards
