@degmo If the user should select first the type, then upload the file, I would modify the html having first <template lwc:if={showUpload} (please note that if:true and if:false are deprecated, you should use lwc:if|elseif|else directive), then, after closing that template element, I would put the container of lightning-input: <div class="slds-m-around_medium" lwc:else>. In the modal I would add a button to confirm the selection of the file type. This button would toggle showUpload. Another way to achieve this is disable the lightning-input until the user choose a file type.

| Sep 8, 2023 at 15:58 | comment | added | degmo | Hi @RubenDG thank you again. I need a little more help if you could. I put a prototype based on your suggestion to allow for selection of a file type. I updated the HTML file to icnlude a "dialog" section that pops up when "showupload" is true. However, save operation goes on while the dialog is still open. how can I make SaveFiles wait until the dialog is closed? Much appreciated. This is my first LWC component so I do appreciate your help..my experience so far has been with backend development | |

@degmo You're welcome, glad I could help. You could leverage either a lightning-input-field or a combobox and getPicklistValues wire adapter. Provide a default value and attach an handler for the change event, storing the selected value in an instance variable, then add it as input parameter to saveFiles method.

| Sep 7, 2023 at 14:27 | comment | added | degmo | @RubenDB, thank you. That fixed my issue. If I may ask another question. I have a custom picklist field on the ContentVersion table called Type. The values for Type__c are: "Proof of Income", "Proof of Residency", etc. When a file gets uploaded via the custom LWC I am building as above, how can I present a user with a list of values from the field Type so that they can tag the file as one of the types? | |
