#34582: Uploading multiple files in Django no longer works in version 4.2 but
worked in version 4.1

In Version 4.1 of Django, I could upload multiple files using the form
codes below.

class ResumeUpload(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = MyModel
fields = [‘resumes’]
widgets = {
‘resumes’: ClearableFileInput(attrs={‘multiple’: True}),
}

But when I upgraded to version 4.2, the code no longer works, I could not
select multiple files for upload.

I got a post online that says 'allow_multiple_selected': True, in the code
below, should replace ‘multiple’: True as in the code above, but yet it
does not work.

widgets = {
'file':
forms.ClearableFileInput(attrs={'allow_multiple_selected': True})
}

Please, is there any other means to upload multiple files?

Thanks.

Your code `attrs={'allow_multiple_selected': True}` isn't correct. Please
