I have the same problem, In my edit record form, I want to assign an image to the input file_upload dynamically. And there is no way to refresh the field. Is there a method that does a refresh of the field?. I try to call the method $('#file_upload).file_upload() again and it doesn't work either.

I assign dynamically the attribute $('#file_upload').attr("data-default-file", file_url)

Hi,

You can try to change directly the image src attribute. F.e. I added a button below the File Upload :

<button id="fileinputBtn">Change image</button>

And added an onClick listener:

const fileupload = $('#input-file-now-custom-1');
const btn = $('#fileinputBtn');
const fileuploadImg = $('.file-upload-preview-img')[0];

btn.on('click', () => {
     fileuploadImg.setAttribute('src', "../img/sample.jpg");
});

Hope it will help you.

Best regards.
