How to display datavaluetype FILE in editpage

13:50 May 19, 2023

Hi,

I am scanning around and couldn't fine anyway on how to add/display the new column I added on my schema. It's a File Datatype which meant to be used to upload any file.

I kept getting:

 "Unhandled Promise rejection: Object { message: "DataValueType.BLOB is not supported" }"

Here's the sample DIFF script I added.

{
				"operation": "insert",
				"name": "TCFileObj",
				"values": {
					"layout": {
						"colSpan": 12, "rowSpan": 1, "column": 0, "row": 5
					},
					"bindTo": "TCFile",
                    "controlConfig": {
                            "fileUpload": true
                        }
				},
				"parentName": "ParentName",
				"propertyName": "items",
				"index": 6
			}

Hello,

The data type "File" doesn't mean to be displayed on the page and therefore you cannot upload files to it using the UI.

If you want to work with files, please use the Attachment detail.

Dmytro Vovchenko,

Is it a datatype not meant to be use in Schema/Object level?

Solem Khan Abdusalam,

Hi,

Please use a standard and working approach with the "Attachments and notes" detail on the page to upload files. There is no particular documentation or example on how to add DataValueType.BLOB fields on the page, but you can review how the column is added to the system setting with "MenuLogoImage" code page:

and implement the same.

Oleg Drobina,

That's actually a very cool way to start somewhere!

I'll check it out.

I'll post the sample code after making it work.
