# Advanced File Uploader

 * I am using Caldera Forms (V 1.6.1) to allow users to upload images to the Media
   Library. After upload, I would like to re-direct to a page that shows the images
   that have been uploaded.
    If I use the basic File field type, my variable (value%
   image_1%) is correctly updated with the file location and passed across to the
   redirect page. However if I use the Advanced File Upload, what is passed across
   is literally %image_1% – ie the ‘variable’ value is not updated with the file
   location, but passed as a piece of text. I have ensured that with both upload
   fields I am saving to the Media Library and I have checked several times that
   all the settings of the two versions of the upload field are identical. I could
   use the basic File upload, but I preferred the Advanced Upload interface, so 
   it would be good to get this working correctly.
