Instead, the widget enters a state where it shows a "Remove" button but no file link or audio player. The file is only fully attached and visible after the entity is saved and the page is reloaded.</p> <p>Technical Analysis (The Root Cause):</p> <p>Missing Context Extraction: The previous implementation of aiAutomatorsAjax in File.php did not correctly extract the field name and delta from the triggering element, causing issues with targeting specific items in multi-value fields.<br> Widget State vs.<br> Display: While the file ID (fids) was being successfully set on the form element value, the managed_file widget requires its #process callbacks to run to generate the actual display elements (filename, download link, audio player). Because the AJAX callback was simply returning the array without re-triggering these process functions with the new values, the widget knew it had a file (displaying "Remove") but hadn't rendered the preview.</p> > Related issue: [Issue #3566589](https://www.drupal.org/node/3566589)
