TempBlob

Open ThomasBrodkorb opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

As TempBlob seems to be the new File object, would it be a big deal to add another column with FileName or Desciption (Text[80] or Text[250] to the table? Maybe also a Size field (Integer)?

Thanks for the suggestion. We will consider making that change

Does this mean it will not come ?

Closing this old suggestion, TempBLOB obsoleted. Use, e.g., BLOB Storage module in the System Application instead.

Thanks for ignoring!

The same issue exists in the new BLOB Storage module.

Even though the Length (Size) was added, filename and/or description are still not available. It is great tactics to ignore issues until the code - which has the issue - is replaced by some other code with the same shortcoming.

And of course, it is not even possible to extend the system regarding this yourself anymore as everything is "codeunitized" these days - and those are not extendible.

Well, this GitHub only tracks bugs in the AL Language and VSC VSIX. In general, https://aka.ms/bcideas is used to track new suggestions.

Currently there are not plans to add this capability to BLOB Storage. However, you can suggest these changes yourself by creating an issue in the open source GitHub for the base and system apps, and once approved, create a PR https://github.com/microsoft/BCApps/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md

Well, not in 2017 when this thread started,
