A File is Required

I have upgraded Repository 3.5.3 and it is simply awesome, customized the template, it was so easy (the html/xml model) for a non coder, but after I updated to 3.5.3 version i am getting the following for not uploading a file:

A File is Required

and in many cases i do not want to upload a file, simply the title & description etc.

can i disable the file upload as a mandatory upload ?

I checked the sql table and "null" value is allowed, checked the xml file and no reference.

yep, edit the form.xml file, look for a [FILE] token, if one doesn't exist, add it, then add a Setting named Required (please note the setting name and value are case-sensitive), and set the value to false

eg:

<Object>

    <Token>[FILE]</Token>

        <Settings>

            <Setting>

                <Name>Required</Name>

                <Value>false</Value>

            </Setting>

        </Settings>

</Object>

Save it. now the file is optional and no longer required

Of course, if you wanted to use the Repository strictly for info (ie: no files or images at all), you could also edit the form.html file and simply remove the [FILE] and [IMAGE] tokens completely.
