Known bugs for upload Control

The option "replace file name" does not work in 8.5. Fix is planned for 8.5.1.
The submit/Save button needs to do a full refresh, not a partial refresh.

Workaround for known bug in download Control

If your application is in a subdirectory on your Domino server the download control does not work, it presents wrong paths to the files. This is a known bug and is planned to fix in 8.5.1.
John Mackey found the following workaround:

-Go to all properties of the download Control
-Set all properties-> data-> VaR to "rowdata"
-Navigate to filenamehrefvalue property and add the following javascript:

 
If (! @ Isnewdoc ()){
 

 
Return "0/" + datasource. getdocument (). getuniversalid () + "/<dollar> file/" + rowdata. getname ();
 

 
} Else {
 

 
Return "#";
 

 
}
 

Important: Replace "<dollar>" with the dollar Char !!!

Replace "datasource" with your actual datasource in your xpage.
