5721	Objects with file fields, edited inline, throws validation errors on edit	reidab@…	Brian Rosner	"This is similar to #26.

I have an object with multiple related file attachments, each represented by a related object that i'm editing inline (tabular). 

When I edit the parent object, it displays the current value of the file field as a link above the file input. 
If I save the parent object, the empty file fields (labeled Change:) throw ""This field is required"" errors, even though the field has a current value. 

It seems that validation on file fields should check both for input (and replace if it exists) and for an existing value."		closed	contrib.admin	newforms-admin		fixed	nfa-blocker	sjulean@…	Accepted	0	0	0	0	0	0
