How do you convert a File Reference to File Data?
I have a Flow where I upload a File Reference and I want to convert the File Reference type to the File Data type. Is there a way I can accomplish this?

Hi there,
When uploading a File Reference, there is no need to convert the File Reference type to the File Data type as the File Reference type already contains File Data!
File References are essentially various pieces of File Data types stored within the Decisions file system, rather than memory. This reduces the overall system load when manipulating files. For more information on File References, check out this document:
https://documentation.decisions.com/docs/file-type-overview?highlight=file%20reference
Hope this helps!
Howdy, Stranger!
