Hi there,
I have multiple file uploads working with attachment_fu, however if
one of the file fields is empty then it throws a validation error.
Removing the validation results in an empty (nil) record being
created.
I''d like to be able to just ignore the empty file field and save the
ones present.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Will
