Hi all,

Currently I am working on a solution where a model driven app is asked. One of the tables has a column with the 'file' type. I want to make this column visible in a view (used in the model driven app), but it does not show up as an option in the list of available columns.

The list with available columns

How can I get this column visible within a view?

Thank you in advance.

Hi @hjvv ,

Whenever you uploading the file/Images to your Dataverse Table, behind the scenes It uses Azure Blob Storage in order to store that file/Image and we don't have access to the account directly.That's why the File Type column is not shown in the View. And There is no direct way to Download the file from Azure Blob Storage.

If you want to download/see the file then we have different Approaches to do that-

1. By using the Power Automate flow

2. By Opening the form in edited mode. Please refer Below Image- (Simplest way)
----
3.By using the Dataverse Web API.
