    It is another Tip Wednesday as the days string together, and I again missed posting on Tuesday. I promise this is not an April Fool's joke. A few weeks ago, I wrote a blog about updating Attachments without breaking everything. https://www.naviam.io/resources/blog/how-to-safely-modify-doclinks-without-breaking-everything

    Something that is not in this blog is that Cloud Object Storage uses a flat file system. Which means you will need to flatten all files into the Cloud Object Storage. You won't be able to keep the nested folders. There is a solution for this. mxe.cosnestedfile can be changed to allow MAS customers to use nested folders.

    Note: In my experience, this still only allows you to drill down one folder. So, you will still have to flatten files if you have nested files at multiple levels.

    System Property: mxe.cosnestedfile

    Values: 1 (means it is on and reading nested files), or 0 (means it is off and will only read the flatfile top level)

    Happy #TipTuesday
