-------------------------------------

This shouldn't probably be of Major priority, but I cannot change that anymore.

-----------------------------------------

I think that would be a nice feature - I just recently thought about this too (the use case was adding a PDF to a request/quote)

Some quick thoughts for the implementation

Store the attachement in the Filesystem or DB?
 
New Attachement entity with the fields
-id (generated guid)
-original filename
-mime type

And a then for example create a new entity CustRequestAttachements just like CustRequestNote

--------------------------------------

It would probably be better to use the existing Content/DataResource data model and infrastructure and just have join entities to associate them. This would centralize the file handling functionality, add a lot of flexibility, and then be easy to scale to be supported in various parts of the system (ie associated with lots of other entities). And actually there are a number of *Content entities already to associate things this way.

-------------------------------------

Do I understand correctly that there is currently no functionality to upload DataResource except if it is an image?
