Issue with custom file field in Person Profile

Hi,

I am trying to add two custom file fields to the person profile.

When using the field type "files" no button for upload shows up. When using the "file" field type the upload button appears, but the file is not uploaded to the profile.

I can do uploads to the normal file section of the profile.

Any hint if I could have missed a step in the setup of the field?

Thank you for your help.

Hello @Stephan B. !
Any file uploaded requires to change the code to process the uploaded files. How do you plan to use this field?

I would like users to upload a resume and different reference documents. These can be viewed by other users based on the privacy settings of the profile.

The user may use the Files app with the same "Allow view" option. It will be more flexible than to generate the new field.
