Working on a custom property editor for use on media documents. Editor contains a file upload. All is working fine on the client side, and on save a post is sent to /umbraco/backoffice/UmbracoApi/Media/PostSave exactly as when using the built in File media type. I am using fileManager.setFiles() to attach files to the form post.

Have checked the post using fiddler, can see that both json data for the form, and data for the file itself is in the post. In fact the only difference between the two posts is the contentTypeAlias of the form data and the property data.

Problem is that the api controller doesn't store the file that is being posted, but still reports back with a "Media saved without any errors" response.

Question is: Is there anything in the backend preventing recieving uploaded files and storing them, when the posting property editor is not a built in file upload property editor. I've based my custom editor on the code from the built in file upload editor.

Basically it's a file upload editor, without handling of images, and without the possibility of uploading a new file or removing already uploaded file. Controller looks like this:

function docStoreFileUploadController($scope, $element, $compile, imageHelper, fileManager) {
    function initialize() {
        $scope.originalValue = $scope.model.value;
        $scope.persistedFiles = [];
        $scope.files = [];

        if ($scope.model.value.hasOwnProperty("selectedFiles")) {
            var filenameArr = $scope.model.value.selectedFiles.split(",");
            if (filenameArr.length > 0) {
                $scope.persistedFiles.push({ name: filenameArr[0] });
            }
        }
    }

    initialize();

    $scope.$on("filesSelected", function(event, args) {
        $scope.$apply(function () {
            fileManager.setFiles($scope.model.alias, args.files);
            $scope.files = [];
            var newVal = "";
            for (var i = 0; i < args.files.length; i++) {
                $scope.files.push({ alias: $scope.model.alias, file: args.files[i] });
                newVal += args.files[i].name + ",";
            }
            $scope.model.value = { selectedFiles: newVal.trimEnd(",") };
        });
    });
}

angular.module("umbraco")
       .controller('Docstore.FileuploadController', docStoreFileUploadController);

Have tried locating the code in the backend that handles the upload, no luck yet.
