### What are the exact steps to reproduce this issue?
1. Create an application.
2. Add new Data Source.
3. Action: List multiple rows.
4. Select the database.
### Row Deletion Error:
1. Add a Table (application element).
2. Add a Button field.
3. In the Buttonās Events: Add action āDelete a rowā.
4. Select the same database and in Row ID: `Data source: BD > id` || _if I copy and paste, I get:_ `get('current_record.id')`.
5. (Optional, does not change the error): Add action āRefresh data sourceā.
6. Publish the application and when testing, the error appears:
> Unexpected Error: The āDelete a rowā action failed: An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later.
### Error Updating a Row Containing Files:
1. In Page Settings, set a Path parameter: `/:uuid`.
2. In Data Source, add a Filter with Formula: `Where [UUID] [is] [Parameter > uuid]`
3. Add a Form (application element).
4. Add a File input inside it.
5. In āInitial file URLā, add: `Data records > BD > File > [All] > url` || `get('data_source.181----.field_906----.*.url')`.
6. (Alternative that also doesnāt work): In āInitial file URLā, add: `Data records > BD > File > 0 > url` || `get('data_source.181----.field_906----.0.url')`.
7. Add an event in On Submit: āUpdate a rowā.
8. Select the database and in Row ID: `Data records > BD > id` || `get('data_source.181----.id')`.
9. In the File field space, select: `Form data > File` || `get('form_data.1298----')`.
10. Publish the application and when testing, the error appears:
> Incomplete configuration: The āUpdate a rowā action failed: Please check the configuration.Ā»
### Important notes:
- This wasnāt happening before.
- The first goal is to delete a row from the table.
- The second goal is to update the content of a row that contains a file while keeping by default the values already set through the selected Data Source.
- The `----` characters replace the actual numeric field ID value.
### Attach screenshots, videos, or logs that demonstrate the issue.

Thank you very much @olgatrykush, I can confirm that the row deletion bug has already been fixed by @picklepete here [Delete row returning 502 bad getaway - #7 by picklepete](https://community.baserow.io/t/delete-row-returning-502-bad-getaway/12561/7)! However, **the row update bug with files still persists**. Is there any news on that?

Hi @khalil.io, sorry for the delay on this. To help me debug the row-update bug properly, a workspace export of that database and application would really help. It ensures I test your exact steps.
Cheers,

Hello @picklepete, donāt worry, I actually appreciate the help. As a private message, I sent you the ZIP with the exported database and application from the Workspace.
### In the application:
This specific issue is located here inside:
### In the database:
The table thatās connected to the application is called: `Bug: DB Update` and only contains sample data:
### Important notes:
- The goal is to update the content of a row that contains a file while keeping by default the values already set through the selected Data Source.
- This issue occurs across every application I have and with any database.
- This problem didnāt happen before.
Please let me know if you run into any situation or questions, Iāll be on the lookout since several clients depend on this row-update feature.
Thank you very much in advance!

Thank you so much @khalil.io, that was by far the best bug report Iāve ever received! What a great idea to create an application out of it, I love it. š
I easily replicated the problem, and itās now being resolved as we speak. Hopefully, if we have capacity to review it, itāll be included in the next release.
Cheers,
Peter
