Assets being duplicated

Hi Drew,

I've tried both drag and drop and clicking the area to bring up the file dialog box. It's happening on both Mac and Windows with Chrome and Firefox so we are pretty sure it's not a client-side issue. It could be an edge case in my template though?

In my template I have an image upload to the default bucket and then a repeater further down which contains a file upload to a bucket called 'downloads'. We've had all kinds of files uploaded to this field but the ones that are doubling up are jpg/png images. We didn't realise it was only images that were doubling until after starting this thread. So it could simply be image uploads to the file field type? It is only these images that are doubling up and it happens when the user clicks 'save' on the collection item.

If we just upload the assets, you only see one of each until saving the item.

If required, here is my template.

<div class="containment">
    <div class="item-block row">
        <perch:if exists="thumbnail">
        <div class="item-image">
            <perch:content id="thumbnail" type="image" label="Preview Image" width="500" height="375" crop="true" help="Image will be resized/cropped to 500x375px. Not an image users can download directly. See below." order="4" suppress="true" />
            <img src="<perch:content id="thumbnail" type="image" width="400" height="300" crop="true" />"
                  alt="<perch:content id="title" type="text" label="Title" title="true" order="1" />"
                  sizes="(min-width:1200px) 500px,
                         (min-width:992px) 420px,
                         (min-width:768px) 312px,
                         (min-width:532px)  500px,
                         100vw"
                  srcset="<perch:content id="thumbnail" type="image" width="400" height="300" crop="true" /> 400w,
                          <perch:content id="thumbnail" type="image" width="500" height="375" crop="true" /> 500w,
                          <perch:content id="thumbnail" type="image" width="400" height="300" crop="true" density="2" /> 800w,
                          <perch:content id="thumbnail" type="image" width="500" height="375" crop="true" density="2" /> 1000w" />
        </div>
        </perch:if>
        <div class="item-details">

            <perch:repeater id="downloads" label="Downloads" order="5" divider-before="Downloads" notes-before="IMPORTANT: Please remove any special characters from file names before uploading.">
                <perch:before><h2>Downloads</h2>
                <ul class="item-downloads"></perch:before>
                <li class="item-download">
                    <a href="<perch:content id="file" type="file" label="File" bucket="downloads" help="Please be patient, uploading large files may take some time." />" download><perch:content id="info" type="text" label="File Info" help="A tiny note to put next to the download, like width, height, resolution, print or web, etc" /></a>
                </li>
                <perch:after></ul></perch:after>
            </perch:repeater>
            <hr>
            <div class="item-meta"><span class="label">Item ID:</span> <perch:content id="_id" type="hidden" /></div>
            <div class="item-meta"><span class="label">Date uploaded:</span> <perch:content id="upload_date" type="date" label="Date Uploaded" format="F d, Y" order="3" /></div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Hope that helps or at least makes sense!?

No, I've not had chance to check that out yet.

No problem! As said it's not duping the files or database records, it's just odd.

Thank you!

Just double checked and no, no duplication in the db. It's an odd one for sure.

Thanks Drew!
