@PerryAJ `~/.ignition` cache folder for me ---

Thanks for the clarification. We’ll do some looking - we aren’t intentionally caching anything I can think of that would lead to this behavior. Given that, it’s a bit of ‘finding a needle in a haystack’, except that we don’t even know what the needle looks like. Either way, do keep us updated if this behavior returns. ---

@PerryAJ@jball Hey guys, I’ve had this behavior occur again in the same view it was in previously. I decided to test a few different devices (both laptops and mobile devices) and this issue wasn’t occurring on any of them. I then decided to clear my browser cache and that fixed the issue. I didn’t have to clear the `~/.ignition` cache at all. Not sure if this brings any insight to the issue, or if it’s still a case of ‘finding a needle in a haystack’ (because it doesn’t make sense why browser cache would cause an event to fire twice?), but regardless, I hope it helps! ---

Huh… That makes the issue even stranger as nothing in that component is saved to browser cache, and it would be very unlikely that the upload response could/would get cached and trigger that event multiple times. I appreciate the update Mathew; we can certainly take that information back. ---

I’m not sure how you guys are handing events, but with my general searches i found numerous posts when searching ‘react event firing twice’, though i’m not sure if they pertain in this instance. ---

In this case, the event is coming back via the web socket and React doesn’t play much of a part, other than acting as a proxy. Many (but not all) of the component events work this way. ---

Has anyone come up with a decent solution to this problem? I have this happen daily and clearing the browser and/or ~ignition cache does not fix the issue. However one thing of note this only happens for users onsite. Any user that connects in via VPN does not have this problem. ---

I am experiencing this as well on 8.1.32. I was able to work around it by staging the files in a hash map. The only downside is that the users have to upload the files and then also hit a save button to save the staged files.

This was fixed as part of [8.1.36](https://inductiveautomation.com/downloads/releasenotes/8.1.36#:~:text=Fixed%20book%20keeping%20mistake). ---

Are you re-using that upload component without clearing its prior uploads? That can cause this, too. ---
