Field appears twice when editing

It also happens when previewing a node during the creation process (without uploading a file).

Tested with dev version, issue is still present.

I may be experiencing something related to your issue.

In my case the "unlimited" option creates a half-useful field in the create story page that has shows "add another item" and has to be clicked and the page refreshed/saved for the "choose file" option.

Then in a views list I see duplicate entries if there is more than one file attached to a node.

Here is my post: http://drupal.org/node/578354

I've confirmed this problem, with the latest CCK and FileField. Last I checked this wasn't actually the behavior, but I think a recent change to CCK might have affected the way FileField tries to make only one field by default (while CCK will always try to make 2 empty fields for multi-value fields).

I checked the double appearing in the database of my drupal installation and it looks like the filefield builds empty entrys in the content_field_"image" table with just an delta value. there's a screenshot in the attachment. If I delete the enrys maualy the double filefield is gone, but it appears again in some new nodes.

Marking back to 6.x-3.x-dev, as it is the more recent build.

This double empty fields is due to CCK setting here is patch that solves it:

:) worked for me ;)

FileField also has a temporary work around in it currently to reduce this to one field by default included in 3.2 and higher.
