Can we download document just after uploading it?

Hi Vivek,

AFAIK you cannot generate link for a document after uploading it, as it won't be available in Appian completely at that point of time. It gets placed in a temporary storage location but not in the target folder which was mentioned in the a!fileUploadField(). Only after the FOrm submission, the document will be moved to the target location with a proper UUID and Id. Only then we can give a download link to the document.

Work around for this will be having two user input tasks one chained together one for showing the contents of document and links two download and the second will be used for uploading the documents. This makes the end user to think that he is working on the same page the only drawback is that the end user need to do more interaction with the form.
