express-multipart-file-parser | allows file upload with multipart/form-data | Form library

I've read through all the possible answers here but I'm not sure anymore what the problem could be because none of them works. I have one form that uploads a single image and it works as expected but on a different form where I try and upload multiple files and have form inputs, the req.file is always undefined and the image data ends up in the req.body. So somewhere I think maybe there is an issue where multer is not getting the file data...?

I read in a couple of places that body-parser is possibly not playing well with multer but I unfortunately need them both.
