Enhancement requests and questions regarding attachment library for CAP applications

[UpendraMallya]

Hello team,

we have been exploring the new attachment library for CAP applications, and we really like how easy it is to integrate it into existing applications! We have some question regarding the usage internally at SAP:

• The library injects the UI annotation for the attachments. We would like to have an option to influence this behaviour, e.g. to hide certain columns or to show the attachments somewhere else on the object page.
• We have use cases where only one attachment is allowed. Is there currently a possibility to control/restrict the number of attachments.
• For security reasons we have to use mTLS authentication where ever possible. The library is internally using Basic Authentication for consuming the malware scanning service. Is there a way to change this?
• We have the guideline that files should be scanned for virus during the upload and during the download stage as well. Is it possible to enforce this in the library?

@UpendraMallya : Thanks for the feedback! We will discuss about the enhancement request and get back to you! But here are some questions:

• Which columns do you want to configure? All all provided as UI annotations.
• Currently we do not restrict the number of attachments.
• mTLS, need to check and get back
• currently we check during the upload only and we donot modify the files later, is it mandatory and part of any product standards?

@RamIndia Thank you for the quick response.

1. Could you give me a quick idea, say I wanted to hide the column "Note", would I be able to do it via annotations.
2. OK I see. It would be nice if we could control some aspects like number of uploads, limit the size of each file uploaded etc via annotations if possible.
3. Sure.
4. Im not sure if it is mentioned in any product standard. This was based on discussions one of our colleague had with the malware scanning service team where they told him that it is mandatory to check at both times.
