Single file upload option missing

[denlogv]

In the Label Studio UI, I can upload a single file, which, as far as I can tell, calls the task import endpoint api/projects/{project_id}/import with the file being specified in a multipart request. Currently, I don't see a way of doing this using the official SDK. I can achieve this by calling the internal client:

upload_response = ls._client_wrapper.httpx_client.request(
    f'api/projects/{project_id}/import',
    method='POST',
    files={'file': (uploaded_file_name, file_content, 'image/jpeg')},
    json=task,
    params={'return_task_ids': True}
)
task_id = str(upload_response['task_ids'][0])

However, this completely ignores the task dictionary, so it seems to be necessary to get the task id and then send another request to update the task with the task dictionary. However, it has some weird effects:

1. annotations become just another generic field, so I don't see them in the UI.
2. Uploaded file gets renamed internally by adding a prefix, but when I get its new name by the upload id:

file_upload_id = upload_response['file_upload_ids'][0]
new_filename = ls.files.get(file_upload_id).file
task['data']['image'] = f'/data/{new_filename}'
ls.tasks.update(task_id, data=task, project=project_id)

and then add it back to the task dictionary and update the task, the image file is not shown in the UI.

Is there a recommeded way to achieve the same UI functionality without having to register additional storages?

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Label Studio

Please be informed that we do not offer the possibility to upload/update the tasks and files combined. we recommend you to setup an external storage to achieve the desired outcome. Please find the relevant documentation : https://labelstud.io/guide/storage

Best regards!
