Steps to reproduce

Add the following field in a ui component form:

<file name="file">
            <settings>
                <label translate="true">Select File to Import</label>
                <dataScope>file</dataScope>
                <validation>

Hello @thomas-kl1,

Thank you for the report and collaboration!

We did not see the error while using the fileUploader component:

<field name="file">
            <argument name="data" xsi:type="array">
                <item name="config" xsi:type="array">
                    <item name="required" xsi:type="boolean">true</item>
                    <item name="validation" xsi:type="array">
                        <item name="required-entry" xsi:type="boolean">true</item>
                    </item>
                    <item name="sortOrder" xsi:type="number">333</item>
                    <item name="formElement" xsi:type="string">fileUploader</item>
                    <item name="label" xsi:type="string" translate="true">add file</item>
                </item>
            </argument>
</field>

Can you please check and let us know if this is working at your end.

Thank you.

fileUploader and file are two different component.

The file component allows to select a file without uploading it right away.

[engcom-November]

It is recommended to use fileUploader, but in case if you are using file component for some specific use case, can you let us know the same.

[thomas-kl1]

Could you elaborate why it's not recommended? It's not mentioned in the documentation.

I use file component because I don't feel the need to split the form submission in two parts. The file uploader component requires to have an upload ajax route. So it adds extra work to cleanup uploaded files if the user finally didn't submitted the form.

[engcom-November]

Yes file component can minimize the extra work needed for ajax, so confirming this issue.
