Flow not working after changing FileData to FileReference – what to check?

I changed the file upload type in my form from FileData to FileReference, and now my flow is not working. What should I do?

Hello!

When you switch from FileData to FileReference in a form, you also need to update the flow steps that use that file. FileReference is not the same as FileData, but it has a .Data property that holds the actual file in FileData format. So, wherever your flow was using FileData before, you now need to use FileReference.Data instead. This small change will make sure your flow continues to work as expected. Just check all the following steps after the form and update them to use FileReference.Data wherever needed. This should mostly fix your issue.
