Pre populate a file input

3. Attach this file to file input field <- this is what I'm not able to figure out and need help with.

It is not possible to set a value at FileList object of <input type="file"> element.

How can I auto populate previously uploaded file using html and php?

You can display image using

<img src="path/<?php echo $news['image']; ?>"> 

or if it is a file use the

<a href="path/<?php echo $news['my_file']; ?>">My File</a> 

tag to link.

When you update the DB make sure you update the field image only when the new file is selected.

Pre-Populating HTML form, date, with Flask variable content

This:

<input type="date" id="first" name="first" placeholder="first" value=firsttrial>
{{ firsttrial }}

should be this:

<input type="date" id="first" name="first" placeholder="first" value="{{firsttrial}}">

It's the value attribute that specifies what gets placed in the field.
