The fileupload screen is for the uploading of files only, which may be any type of file, not just data. It has no provision for any additional fields which are not connected to the upload.
If you are uploading a data file which needs to be imported into the database, then the import has to be a performed in a separate task. This import task should then read records from the data file and update the database with whatever logic you specify. All the data required by this import task should be available either in the data file or in the database.
If this data file is provided by a third party, but it has "missing" data, then this data should be inserted into the file before it is uploaded. You could even put this missing data into a second file which you can upload, then have the import task read both files.
It is not possible to modify the upload task in order to specify values which are missing from the data file.
