Control Type: File not working in parameters

Control Types: File Not working in parameters.

I’m following this guide: https://theme.co/docs/parameters#control-types-file but there isn’t much explanation on how these are supposed to work. I assumed that means it’s straightforward.

I can get the file to select, and I can get it to look for the type of file I want. However, when the file is selected I can’t get that link to work on a button.

The output looks like this: “17680:raw” - which when I put that into my button as the URL link obviously does not work.

Am I missing a step? Or is this a bug? Thanks in advance.

That parameter is really only setup to be sent the CSV looper currently or controls that accept an attachment ID. I’ll add a way to resolve that attachment source through something like the below. So yes they’ll be another step for you if you want to use the URL. Probably a next release thing. Thanks for the feedback.

{{dc:p:file type='file'}}
