Description (last modified by Gabriel Hurley)

There seems to be no way to bind a form to a Form Preview (using request.FILES)...
i tried ignoring the specific warning not to override in preview.py and tried to override the preview_post() method but this did not work.

Additionally this is not documented on ​http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/formtools/form-preview/

You can't preview files since you can't pass on filefields as a hidden field or fill in filefields in any browser. Filefields will always have to be filled again.

I would not consider this a bug, just something out of scope for formpreview.

This should be mentioned in the FormPreview documentation.

Moving out of version milestone:1.0 for triage based on the anonymous comment.

My this is an old ticket. I had to update the link to the docs in the ticket description, it was that old.

Anyhow, It seems like a reasonable admonition to add to the Form Preview docs as suggested by anonymous.
