I'm creating a screen within our business planning capsule that will be a single data view object intended to store various file types that offer supplemental information over what's provided in the business plan. I would like for the file inputs to be heterogenous, so that I don't have to create a cube specific to the file type (ex: xlsx., doc., etc.)
From what I've read in the manual, there is a way to create blob cubes with the data type set to "Custom" and blob extension cleared as stated below; However, when I setup the data view this way, there is no tool-tip with the upload, download, and delete icons. I know this is what is supposed to happen because I have a similar setup with a cube that's set to PDF data type (see screenshot below).
Why would setting the cube to Custom and clearing the blob extension field remove the ability to upload a file through data entry? Is the only way to load custom data type cubes through a data reader?
