Title: [Bug] Uploaded resume gets cleared/unloaded repeatedly during application flow


Describe the bug

While filling out a job application on a Lever-hosted page, the resume file that was already uploaded keeps getting cleared. You upload it, continue filling out other fields, and at some point the upload is just gone — back to empty. Have to re-upload multiple times during a single application, which is pretty frustrating.

Not 100% sure what triggers it — might be related to interacting with other form fields, or some kind of re-render/state reset happening in the background. But it's happened consistently across multiple attempts.

To Reproduce

  1. Go to a Lever-hosted job application form
  2. Upload a resume (PDF)
  3. Continue filling out the rest of the form (education, checkboxes, etc.)
  4. Scroll back up or attempt to submit
  5. Notice the resume upload field is now empty again
  6. Have to re-upload

Expected behavior

Once a file is uploaded, it should persist through the entire form session until the user explicitly removes it or submits the application.

Environment

  • Browser: Chrome (latest)
  • OS: macOS
  • Page: jobs.lever.co hosted application form
