I am attempting to display a CSV file stored in CDT in the UI using the documentViewerField. Here is the code.

However, I just get a blank rectangle in the UI. Does the documentViewerField component not work for CSV files?

a!documentViewerField(
label: index(ri!variable, "documentName", {}),
document: index(ri!variable, "document", {}),
height: "TALL"
),

Document viewing behavior differs depending on the document type and browser. Some documents are automatically download(ex: word) to your system when you try to open using document viewer. See the limitations of documents viewer here
