Rails: set file to file_field

Question

Having the following form:

= form_for company, html: { multipart: true } do |form|
    = form.label :logo, 'Upload Image'
    = form.file_field :logo

I want to set file_field value to another user uploaded image (have the object of ActionDispatch::Http::UploadedFile class). Is there a way to do it?

You cannot set the value for the file field and its because of security.

e.g would you want websites on the internet to be able to automatically set a value of C:/some_secret_folder/password.txt to a file field and submit the form through JS ?
