I am using a generic field for our form as a file input but I want to validate its file type, size, and extension. I tried to pass a validate attribute but it's not working. The shortcode looks like this. Can you please help us to pass the validation
[cred_generic_field type='file' field='charity-campaign-image' class='charity-campaign-image']
{
"required":0,
}
[/cred_generic_field]
If you check the screenshot then there you'll see data attributes for different validations as well as for file size, file extension, file type, and as I checked in the code there is some code which is getting the attribute passed with a generic field parameter but somehow when I pass something like that for validation that's not working and same output is coming instead of my limited file extension validation for i.e I want to allow only jpg, jpeg, png, etc
