- postmortem Sep 12, 2025, 08:15 PM UTC
**Summary** Between July 23rd 12:39 PM CEST and July 24th at 09:01 AM CEST, some users saw an error message when submitting a form that included an optional media upload field. **What happened** We recently updated the way our system processes form submissions. As part of this change, the logic for sending emails and generating the form content was restructured. During this update, an error was introduced that affected certain scenarios. **Impact** The issue only occurred when a form included an optional media attachment field that was left empty. In these cases, the form could not be submitted successfully, and users saw an error message. Forms without media fields, or where the media field was filled in, were not affected. **Future improvements** To prevent this from happening again, we are adding additional automated tests that will check for common field behaviors, including optional fields. This will help us identify and resolve such issues faster.
