Hey there!
I wonder how I can upload files in my forms in Camunda 8. It’d be great if form-js supported this form component; so we could simply use linked forms.
However, it is not possible right now. I assume there have been discussions on this topic before. I have read this topic in Camunda 7 and it didn’t help me.
Is there any way I can handle this in Camunda 8? If I use embedded forms, how can I access the files later in the process?
you are right, this is not possible as of now as Camunda (and Zeebe in particular) is not able to handle file data in a proper way.
You COULD build your own component for this and handle the file-to-be-uploaded by for example base64 encoding the content and saving it as a string process variable.
