Feature - xs:base64encode type in the form builder

Hi,

As I see it's not possible to change attachment type from xf:anyURI to xs:base64encode via form builder field options editor.

Would it be possible to add it? Or there is any hidden option or property that should be enabled?

Currently, the change should be done via a source code editor.

Jarek,

Currently this is not supported, as you noted. We don't have plans to add
support for this at this point. But out of curiosity, what would be the use
case?

Eric,

Case is very simple. Sometimes there is needed to add some graphics to the form. The easiest way for small files is to include them in the xml file. It allows to copy the form definition with all elements.

When we use uri, file has to be added on each orbeon instance and url has to be updated. When you have many files it cause additional work and mistakes.

Such solution is dedicated for less expirienced form developers but in my case rather end users then regular developers. I know that it's possible to add resources via deployment but it's not flexible solution.

Or I missed something in the doc?
