Hello  
I am trying to create a Process form where users can attach documents and upload document without having to click the submit button.

Basically user can upload documents to a case but is not required to complete / finish a task.

Just like case comments can be updated using only REST API, similarly can case documents be updated using only REST API.

If possible , then user can open the task and add comments and upload necessary documents . Only the work is complete, then user can close the task. Hence uploading documents will not impact task.  
I am looking at Partial page postback events.  
  
Is it also possible to update BDM entries without submitting the form/Task ??

Hi,

Yes, documents can be updated using REST API and [PUT action](https://documentation.bonitasoft.com/bonita/2021.1/bpm-api#_casedocument) on a button.

BDM data must be updated using a process.
