In Progress Forms Display Deleted Files in Grid (#143)

When a user begins a form in FieldFX Back Office and saves the Form with an attachment, a button displays in the list of saved forms identifying the available attachment allowing the user to download the attachment.

When a user then edits the Form and deletes the attachment, the grid continues to display the file that was attached but grays out the button and adds a indicator that it was removed. The attachment is not available to download.

If the user replaces the file with another attachment, only the replacement file displays.
