Setting Values

You can set the upload field type value with a file's ID.

$entry->example = 10;

You can also set the value with an instance of a file.

$entry->example = $file;

Lastly you can set the value with an instance of a file presenter.

$entry->example = $decorated;

Multipart Form Data

When using the Upload field type in a form and utilizing a custom layout/output you MUST define the form's enctype.

{% set form = form('example', 'stream').get() %}

{{ form.open({'enctype': 'multipart/form-data'})|raw }}
...
{{ form.close|raw }}
