Hello WeWeb team, When I disable a file upload field, users are still able to click the upload button and choose a file. I do not want users to be able to interact with the button when the field is disabled. ---

Hi @aurelie, Any update on the button ‘disabled’ button feature being fixed? Using an additional step within a workflow as an interim measure. ---

If I believe my Jira tickets, this has been pushed in production. Do you still have the problem? ---

Nope, it’s still not disabling the button. I’ve tried changing the type to ‘submit button’ and tried changing the formula. It doesn’t make any difference. The button still triggers the dialogue box to upload a file. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/6/6588c5743244bcf82cca94fa0f84894739e253f1.png) ---

A workaround idea: You could layer/position the element behind an invisible div of the same size and mess with z-index such that the user only clicks on the top invisible div and not the file picker. ---

Hey, my bad. It seemed like you tried to disable the button, when you had to disable the whole image upload element, like so: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/1/145dee17bfc3f71ec720cb78f2d430d2ec4b8878.png)
