Is there a node like the "form" node in node-red-dashboard (2.19.4) that will provide a file upload feature that web users of the dashboard can upload a file to for subsequent processing by other nodes as a payload of some description?

The goal is to have the user upload a CSV file (of some format) and then node-red can consume this file and do post processing of the data through other nodes/flows.

Have you looked in the [flow library](https://flows.nodered.org/search?term=Upload&type=flow)?
