Problem/Motivation

File field widget with multiple values could erroneously create multiple empty items under special circumstances. For example, within a multi-step form that excludes the file field on the initial step using the #access render property.

Steps to reproduce

Quick and easy multi-step node form simulation:

  1. Create a content type with a file field and unlimited cardinality.
  2. Alter the node form to rebuild on submit.
  3. Hide file field widget with ['#access' => FALSE] on the element.
  4. Open the node form.
  5. Remove #access property from the file field widget element.
  6. Click submit to rebuild node form.
  7. Observe the duplicated empty item (compare with screenshot).

Proposed resolution

Do not create elements for empty items. Empty elements are created after existing items are processed.

    This issue is being reviewed by the kind folks in Slack, #needs-review-queue-initiative. We are working to keep the size of Needs Review queue [2700+ issues] to around 400 (1 month or less), following Review a patch or merge request → as a guide.

    This will need a test case to show the issue.

    Did not test patch.

    Just chiming in. This patch fixes an issue I was experiencing with Entity Form Steps → where unlimited file fields were displaying strangely exactly as the attached screenshot.

    Unfortunately I don't have the skill to write a test for this as of yet to contribute.
