If I upload a .txt file or .pdf, works fine.

Expected behavior

Error logs out somewhere or image is successfully uploaded.

Context

Running from a localhost server with the following code. Hopefully leading to uploading to an aws server

Collection code

collection("questionImage", {
  actions: [
    {
      name: "Coool Action",
      type: "global",
      fields: [
        {
          field: "imageTitle",
          isRequired: true,
          description: "The title of the image you want to upload",
          type: "String",
        },
        {
          field: "image",
          isRequired: true,
          description: "Image you need",
          type: "File",
        },
      ],
    },
  ],
  fields: [
    {
      field: "small_image_url",
      type: "String",
      get: (questionImage) => {
        return questionImage.imageUrl + "/small.png";
      },
    },
  ],
  segments: [],
});

Router code

router.post("/actions/coool-action", permissionMiddlewareCreator.smartAction(), (req, res) => {
  const attrs = req.body.data.attributes.values;
  const imageTitle = attrs["imageTitle"];
  const image = attrs["image"];

  res.send({ success: `Coool action has been done! ${imageTitle} ${image}` });
});

Hey @Connor_Chaos, and welcome to our community :wave:

My first guess without the error would be maybe a file upload limit, but I may be wrong here

From the error, you should be getting an error on the HTTP call related to the smart action /actions/coool-action in your browser Network console. Could you share here both the request & response (Obfuscating sensitive data in the output) so we can check what is happening?

Thanks in advance :pray:

You would be correct!

Checking the Network console I got a [413-Payload To Large].

Looking through the forums led me to this fix (Maximum file size in a Smart Action field "File" - #2 by arnaud) which seemed to do the trick.

Thank ya for the pointers @jeffladiray !
