Hello @rrosztoczy !

Thank you for reporting this, I have encountered the same in the past few days and have a fix ready.
Let me verify if it's been fixed in main already and I'll update here!

[rrosztoczy]

Appreciate it Marco! Happy to verify on my end once it is!

Hey @MarcoABCardoso I was curious if you had found the source of the issue and could point me in that direction! I'll probably start investigating tomorrow, but not familiar with the repo or dotnet projects really. I am afraid any progress I could make would be very slow. I have been able to replicate the issue locally, in the test web app, and in a direct line web app.

Hello @rrosztoczy !

Thank you for your patience! We have a fix out on the main branch now.
Please let us know if your issue is fixed!

Hi @MarcoABCardoso! Thank you - I was able to successfully upload files using the updated repo! However, when I ask for a download link after updating the files, the bot provides the link text but the link is empty: <a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Download the updated CSV file</a>.

This is true from various channels using a web app or the test web app. I am unable to get it to successfully provide a link for any file even with additional prompting. Do you want me to create a different bug for this one?

[MarcoABCardoso]

Hi @rrosztoczy
I apologize for not seeing this sooner. I don't believe this scenario is currently supported - I've created a feature request as I believe it makes sense! The bot should be able to generate download links for files it creates, which is similar to how it's able to show plots.
