When updating a Client with a file upload form, how can I pass the existing files to the file selector so that they are preselected for the user?

I'm encountering difficulty prepopulating the file selector with the files already associated with the post during the update process. Despite passing the URLs or file paths of the existing files to the form, they are not appearing as preselected options in the file selector. I've attempted various approaches, including setting the initial attribute of the file field in the form, but none have been successful thus far.

What is the recommended method for achieving this functionality in Django? Are there any specific methods or attributes that I may have overlooked?

I would appreciate any advice or alternative approaches that could help me resolve this issue. Thank you for your assistance!
