    Hello srikanthr81596981​,

    why not use functionality which is already there?

    1. Web app form with file upload
    2. Save file to public resources
    3. Link public resource to your custom table

    1.

    choose context variable (eg ctx.vars.file) to save your file from form

    2-3 step:

    See any file res  xml to know what to save

    ctx.vars.file -->has e.g @md5, @originalName.
    //create all fields you want to save
    //create xml
    var fileResXml = <fileRes contentType={contentType}
                  internalName={intName} label={originalName} md5={md5Var}
                 name={destFileName} originalName={originalName}
                 xtkschema="xtk:fileRes"><folder id={folderId}/></fileRes>;
    //create file res obj
    var fileResObj = xtk.fileRes.create(fileResXml);
    //publish
    fileResobj.PublishIfNeeded();
    //save it to db
    fileResobj.save();
    var fileResId = *query resource id by unique internal name*;
    ///save resource id to linked table?
    fileResobj.save();
    fileRfileResobj.save();esobj.save();

    Hope this helps,

    Marcel

      Hello srikanthr64692681,

      In web app edit tab choose Page activity

      In page Advanced controls -> File

      Or you can change any input to file type input in "Selection controls"

      Set up storage by choosing your context variable (you can create them here aswell)

      After page JS activity has to be placed with following-ish code

      The variable you set for the image field will contain following attributes after submit 

      <ctx>
           <vars>
                <fileImg id="0" md5="af859bcc5957fd1a60f7387d07c672ff" originalName="C:\Users\USER\Pictures\3RzNQc8Ia07A_GjjY49XOt.jpg"/>
           </vars>
      </ctx>

      so that means in JS you can distinguish from it md5 string, contentType ...

      ctx.vars.fileImg -->has attributes  e.g @md5, @originalName if you want to see all of them
        
      //create all fields you want to save  
        
      //create xml  
      var fileResXml = <fileRes contentType={contentType}  
                    internalName={intName} label={originalName} md5={md5Var}  
                   name={destFileName} originalName={originalName}  
                   xtkschema="xtk:fileRes"><folder id={folderId}/></fileRes>;  
      //create file res obj  
      var fileResObj = xtk.fileRes.create(fileResXml);  
        
      //publish  
      fileResobj.PublishIfNeeded();  
      //save it to db  
      fileResobj.save();  
        
      var fileResId = *query resource id by unique internal name*;  
        
      ///save resource id to linked table?  
        
      fileResobj.save();
