If a node submit form has required fields, the upload creates a validation error when all field requirements have not already been met.

I think this is quite irritating and probably confusing for a site user. It leads me to want to place the imagefield at the bottom of a form on the basis one tends to complete a form top-down.

Is there a workaround for this?

Straying into feature request: the inline upload (with AJAX progressbar) of the upload module, which doesn't require a page refresh?

I think the proposed implemetation of ajax uploading is the answer (http://drupal.org/node/144475). I have tried this - and it is great - subject I think to ironing out a couple of minor issues.

Not only does it rule out the need for my initial request but it is the logical step for this module and as far as I have heard it is to be implemented.

Yes I agree, as the AJAX uploading will solve the issue in 95% of cases. While it *is* possible to skip more advanced validation by other fields, the 'required' flag is not possible to skip and still validate any other fields.

ajax upload is in 2.x. You can form_alter anything else you may need for your use case or write patches that you think may solve the problem.
