What browser are you running?

Some of our customer's have reported issues with various non IE browsers, but we're still checking them out.

You should also consider upgrading to 12.5, released last week.

Should have been 10.3.5416, which was released on the 30th, so you are on the correct version.

I just verified that adding a file to a new ticket causes an error:

Double check the file types you're allowing for uploads. You can find this under:

Settings >> System Settings >> General Settings and clicking the Files tab.

Make sure nothing was reset or changed with any recent upgrades. This isn't a normal occurrence, but it's worth checking out. I hope that helps.

I'm uploading a .TXT file, which is clearly allowed in the files types:

Files can be uploaded on a NEW ticket, created by a user who opens a ticket via the tickets selection on the main SmarterTrack page:

but, if attempting to add a file to an existing ticket, after taking, when responding, the file upload fails.

Hmm..I just tried it on a brand new ticket and I could attach BOTH a .txt file and an .png.

Just for grins, Bruce, try removing .* for "allowed extensions using the HTML editor" and just leave the other file extensions. I wonder if the wildcard PLUS the other extensions is messing something up. Alternatively, you can simply change .* to just * as the period isn't necessary, but you'd want to remove the other extensions. Removing the wildcard entirely is a bit easier.

OK, removed the .* and changed it to just *

This removes the * comlpletely, and disallows the file upload:

Adding back *.*

again, the upload fails:

Okay. Well, I'm afraid I'm out of ideas. As I mentioned, I can upload both .txt and .png files when replying to a brand new ticket so something is odd, but it doesn't appear to be a bug in the installation itself. My only suggestion is to open a ticket so we can take a look at your database...

Apparently, there are 3 person in this thread have exact same issue, so it's definitely not an isolated case. A fresh install was done and same issue occurred.

I suspect we are on IIs and Derek is using the default Smartertool web service.

Bruce,

Are you on IIs?

We run on IIS as well with a SQL 2012 back end, just like any production environment.

Swap to smartertrack web server at 9666, same issue also

so must be something else we have in common that caused this issue.
Puzzled.

Looks like we might need someone to open a ticket so that our team can look at a server and see what might be the underlying issue. We can't reproduce this.

Okay, we were finally able to replicate this. One of our Customer Service team members upgraded a local installation and was able to see the same behavior. Not sure why it's not occurring on our production installation, but regardless, we've escalated the issue to the developers.

I'm here to report the same issue. I cannot attach in both FF and Chrome.

IE doesn't work either.

Hi everyone,

In reference to the reply and comments above me, Steve is right. This thread was marked as Resolved because we were able to resolve the issue internally; it just wasn't released yet.

The fix for this issue will be released in a minor version later today. Keep an eye on our News feed and social media pages to be alerted to when the release is available.

Thanks!
