Best practice use of new Temp Blob List, Temp Blob and Permanent Blob CodeUnits

So it's great the the Business Central team are introducing new capabilities. But there is no public documentation at all on how to use these code units. As an example, I have a public tenant specific extension at https://dev.azure.com/tfbtrading/MSDyn365BC_NCR. This is pretty simple - but it would be beneficial to have the ability to add multiple file attachments.

The standard incoming documents and document attachments fact-boxes are not really applicable.

Before I custom code new tables and pages to be able to use these it would be great to know if I need to re-invent the wheel or not.

One of the great benefits of power apps is the very flexible and advanced attachment and notes functionality. I am wondering whether I need to instead look to that functionality. However, I then lose a lot of benefits that come from close integration.

So far this took 2 hrs to create. But it looks like the simple act of being able to add documents and images would be many more hours.

Sorry. I believe you misunderstood my question and I can see why.

Put simply - it seems that Microsoft is adding new capabilities in the System App and yet there is no documentation on recommended use case and techniques. I am wondering if anyone in the community has actually made use of the TempBlob List and PermanentBlob modules.

Hello,

To find out if an idea is welcomed by the Partner channel and make Microsoft aware of a possible requirement to add in standard, you can at least create an idea at https://aka.ms/bcideas.
