It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

• n8n version:
• Database (default: SQLite):
• n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
• Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
• Operating system:

Hi @liujiang103

Thanks for posting here and welcome to the community!

In your case the Input Binary Field is not data but files - so try to replace that

I have the same problem, but don’t understand the answer. Replace what with what?

I want to upload a csv file with a n8n form and parse it’s content to normal n8n data (json). But de extractFromFile node wants a field (default: data), which formTrigger doesn’t deliver. So I get a The item has no binary field 'data' [item 0] error in the extractFromFile node.

What is the correct / recommended way of handling and parsing file uploads fron the form?

Information on your n8n setup

• n8n version: 1.61.0
• Database (default: SQLite): SQLite
• n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
• Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): Docker
• Operating system: Debian 12

Ah, that very moment I figured it out. The field name is the given Field Label on the formTrigger node, so I had to set that name (in my case “Datei”) as the Input Binary Field inside the extractFromFile node.
