Attach File in Web Form Child Table fails

Frappe Framework Bug
1

Hi all,

I observe the following issue: I have a custom doctype “request”, which has a child table “request file”, which has a field of type “Attach”. In the desk version, this works nicely to attach multiple files to the doctype record.

Now, I have a web form for the same doctype to allow portal users to place requests and attach files. The form works well, however, as soon as a file is attached, saving is no longer possible and the console shows the following error message:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (INTERNAL SERVER ERROR)

This is observed in ERPNext: v10.1.52 / Frappe Framework: v10.1.47

Is this a known issue? Any workarounds/solutions?
