File Upload: Need to add "Please Wait" message

C8
NT: 5.52

I have a "file upload" field on a form. But I have stupid users who don't realise that when they click "Save" the file is being uploaded and that they need to wait for that to finish. This is even more prevalent when using mobile connections, as the upload speeds are slow.
I understand that a upload progress bar is not possible, but I would like a "please wait" type message/page to appear when save is clicked. And then when the upload has completed, then move on to an "upload completed" message/page.

Is this possible?

Hi Bryan,

Obviously, once the upload is completed the user goes to a new page, so that's not such a big deal.

the message to display when they click the "save" button, warning them that it might take a bit of time to upload, is also do-able, but I'd need to add some code - so it'd only be in NT6. If you can't go to NT6 then I guess some custom javascript would be the right approach. (Let me know.)

cheers
Bruce

Hi Bruce,

NT6 is not an option at the moment, but any help you can offer would be greatly received. I'm not after anything fancy. A simple alert saying "Something is about to upload, you must wait for it to finish", would do.

Thanks in advance

Hi Bruce,
I have similar issue with file uploads and would like to see the "please wait" message added to NT 6.
Thanks,
