Deleted attachments but record not saved

[swar]

What: If a user deletes any file uploaded via field attachments, but does not save the record, the file is deleted from the server, but it is still saved in DB. This results in a bug on record detail where uploaded file is display with size (0) and upload does not work (page displays "File not found").

Where: any entity with field-type attachments

How replicate:
1. Upload any file
2. Save the record
3. Edit the record, delete the field and DO NOT save the record.
4. Refresh the page
5. File is still displayed, but the size is 0 and download is not possible (e.g. Document.pdf (0) - 23.11.2022 18:11). You can check it here: https://pdemo.rukovoditel.pro/3.2/index ... mo_id=1719

This is how app works. Records should be saved to apply changes in attachment.

I know, you know it, everybody on this forum knows it, but users do not know. Or they might be just lazy or do not care or change their mind after deleting a file and a lot of other reasons.

Every time users do this, which sometimes happens in the app with a lot of users, it causes the data in the app to be corrupted and damaged like this. In case you have an application used by many users, it is not real to watch all the records manually, resaving records and telling users not to do it.

It would be great if rukovoditel prevented this from happening by itself. Maybe by changing the app either to a) delete data in DB at the same time when files on the server are deleted (ajax?) b) delete files on the server if the record is saved? What do you think?
