Description
The Filer package (as of 2026.05.24) says "Leave blank to load an existing file from file system…"
However, attempting to do so results in an error from input validation: "The field File Contents is required"
I thought this might be more complicated to fix, but it turns out the underlying code to handle empty filedata was already there. All that was needed was to remove the <required/> tag from /usr/local/pkg/filer.xml
I made a patch for this which can be applied with System Patches using this URL: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/luckman212/a5a26220c1102efefd99f5d2b22b0326/raw/84a8cedfb577bf3aafc369afa9332cd82b216913/filer.xml.patch
