Setting input type=“file” using expression not working in Chrome or Safari

[sdsanders]

I am working on a form builder application in Angular and have run into an odd bug in Chrome. I am dynamically setting a form input type based on a variable. This seems to work for all input types except for "file", which will always change to "text" in Chrome or Safari. A simple example is below:

<div ng-app="app">
  <input type="{{'file'}}" /><br />
  <input type="{{'color'}}" /><br />
  <input type="{{'button'}}" value="button" />
</div>

Hi @sdsanders,
This is not supported by angular. Duplicate #1375
