Research direction

The stack trace points to FileInputButton.render in the bundled bundle.js; start there and trace the imported multipart-formdata file field into the endpoint view. Reproduce by importing a Postman collection with a file field, then verify the endpoint opens without throwing and ignores the invalid path or reference.
