Hi everyone,

In our most recent implementation, our team was using CHT 4.1.0 instead of the usual CHT 3.17.1. Here, our form designers used a loop to generate multiple file upload fields to get images based on the number provided by the user.

Here is a comprehensive look at the whole process:  
Step 1: Enter the number of images you want to upload in the `image_count` input field  
Step 2: Use `image_count` value to generate `image` upload fields, i.e. if input to `image_count` is 3, three `image` upload fields are rendered.  
Step 3: Upload files to all the rendered `image` upload fields  
Step 4: Press `Submit` to upload form

The form fails to submit with the message _ **Error Saving Report** _. And in the console, the following error can be seen. The upload fields are rendered as needed but the form does not submit at all.

> Note: The issue only occurs when we add more than one images. If you enter 1 in the `image_count` field and upload only 1 image, it generates no errors and the form submits as expected. It only happens for 2 or more `image` upload fields.

Please let me know if you need further context.
