Short answer
Trace every evidence link back to one field question. Keep evidence beside the exact field it supports and avoid using one record for unrelated claims. Do not treat a partial record as support for the entire form.
Working checklist
Build the form field evidence control
Trace every evidence link back to one field question.
Check form field evidence against the current version rather than a remembered or superseded copy.
- Field: copy the portal label verbatim before choosing the record that answers it.
- Applicant statement: enter the applicant's own answer in the portal field before attaching a record that supports it.
- Supporting record: choose the attachment whose visible name, date and issuer directly support the field rather than uploading a general document bundle.
- Period: label the relevant period clearly so form field evidence cannot be read against the wrong dates.
- Limit: note what the selected record cannot establish about that particular form field.

Useful context
Match each portal field to evidence that answers it
Field evidence should be chosen from the field's wording, applicant owner and requested period, not from a generic document checklist.
The decision here concerns the form field evidence decision while completing the active portal field.
Practical example
A practical form field evidence example
A portal asks for a current address, while one file shows only a former address. The renter does not upload it into the current-address field and checks whether a different record is needed.

Risks to avoid with form field evidence
