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

Hello,

There isn't such kind of built-in feature within shortcode, see our document:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/front-end-forms/cred-shortcodes/#cred_generic_field

In your case, you might consider custom codes, for example:
1) If you are using option "Use the WordPress Media Library manager for image, video, audio, or file fields" in the post/user form, you can use filter hook "cred_form_ajax_upload_validate" to setup the file extension validation, see our document:
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/cred-api/#cred_form_ajax_upload_validate

2) If you are not using above option, you can try filter hook "cred_form_validate", see our document:
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/cred-api/#cred_form_validate
