    <p>I have an endpoint from our Django backend guys with documentation that reads:</p> <blockquote> <p>POST to /api/1/photo-uploads/ with enctype="multipart/form-data" with files in field called "files[]".</p> </blockquote> <p>I've been attempting to send uploaded files with formData using jquery's AJAX method. I continue to get an error indicating that the file was not sent. When I view the payload I see.</p> <pre><code>undefined ------WebKitFormBoundary9AzM2HQPcyWLAgyR Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="auzLyrW.jpg" Content-Type: image/jpeg </code></pre> <p>Which doesn't necessarily mean that it hasn't sent but there certainly isn't a location being posted. And I don't have any kind of verification that the file is uploaded.</p> <pre><code> var formData = new FormData(); formData.append('file', $('#file-upload').get(0).files[0]); $.ajax({ url: '/api/1/photo-uploads/', type: 'POST', data: formData, cache: false, contentType: false, processData: false, }); </code></pre> <p>When I console.log <code>formData</code> it simply show's the prototype methods like <code>.append</code>. So I'm unable to verify if the file's data is being sent beyond checking the payload. I can log <code>$('#file-upload').get(0).files[0]</code> but I only see details from the file itself. Because I'm testing it locally an upload location should be something like localhost:8000/.</p> <p>The backend guys are under the impression that it's something I'm doing. When I do a simple form post it works fine. I've tried a number of plugins and basic methods and all have produced the <code>400 {"message": "No photos supplied.", "success": false}</code></p> <p>Any ideas would be appreciated.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
