EditForm Library fails on save by adding a new document
Dear Community,
I am struggling with a simple editform on a simple documentlibrary.
Problem is that it will not save a document after adding the metadata for a new uploaded document. This only happens when I use a custom Skybow editform. This behaviour only happens when adding a new document. In case of editing an existing document the form works well.
My Library looks like the following
- Default Document contenttype
- two additional list columns : "CAPEXForm" [Yes/No] and "IDCAPEX" [Number]
- versioning enabled (only major versions) , no approval required, no check-in / check-out required.
Steps to reproduce it (with a customized Skybow form, without any logic!):
Upload a new document, first form (the not customized newForm for the library) works well. 
After clicking op the EditForm opens, because of my additional fields. After adding my additional value, I click on Save and the editForm hangs (working on it....) and does not save the entered metadata.
I can only Cancel this window. The document is uploaded, but not with the desired metadata.
When I set the editForm back to the SharePoint default editForm all works well.
So to me it seems something in the Skybow editForm.
-- environment --
SharePoint 2013
Skybow RichForms 3.27.8
I have already tried creating new libraries with same setup, but every time it fails saving a new uploaded document when using a custom Skybow editForm.
Any ideas or any suggestions are much appreciated.

After testing some different scenarios, I noticed that when I set "Require documents to be checked out before they can be edited? " in the versioning settings of the (sub)library. The documents could be uploaded.
Sounds like a bug to me... or am I missing some required settings to set before adding a sublibrary?0 -
I tried to reconstruct the issue but was not able to... please have a look at my steps and configuration - you may see a difference to yours? (The EditForm of the doclib is customized with Rich Forms)

Christof Nussbaumer configuration is similar as I had.
I have turned on check-in/check-out now to get it working.
To check if something magic happens in-between I changed back the settings similar as your versioning settings and again document will not save.
Upload document is ok, but afterwards the Editform keeps "working on it". Only Cancel can stop the process.
As far as I can see it only happens in this sitecollection. I will give it a try on another sitecollection with the same setup.
