RE: File upload integer to link

As Chris already mentioned - your double save won't actually do anything, because the uploaded document ID will be cast to whatever type "ri!item.documentid" is, whether it be integer or document, regardless of how you execute the save.

You can use the document ID to generate a download link, see an example below. Storing the document ID as you are doing above (vs a link) is the way to go. Quick note, your saveInto expressions above are redundant here although they will not cause any issues.

Replace the constant value here in local!doc with your a!queryEntity() to retrieve the document ID:

a!localVariables(
  local!doc: cons!YOUR_DOC_ID,

  a!linkField(
    label: "Download Link",
    links: a!documentDownloadLink(
      document: local!doc,
      label: document(local!doc,"name")
    )
  )
)
