Download uploaded files from admin UI

[vladislav-vasilyev]

Hi everybody. How can I download uploaded files from keystone admin UI? I see the only filename with extension string in the list item field but I couldn't download it (this field has the File type). Is it possible to add button/clickable link to download it?

The file name should be a link to the file. Clicking on it will either open it or download it depending on the file type and your browser settings. If that doesn't work, you may want to hover over the file name to see if the link is pointing to the correct location where your file is stored.

@autoboxer How can I do it? Now I have this configuration for the file field: var Types = keystone.Field.Types;

var storage = new keystone.Storage({ adapter: keystone.Storage.Adapters.FS, fs: { path: 'uploads', }, });

Enquiry.add({ ... attachedFile: { type: Types.File, storage: storage, initial: true, }, ... }); ...

I updated keystone to 4.0.0 version from 4.0.0-beta.5 and now it works as expected
