Retrieve mime/ContentType of previously uploaded document

Hi Stephen,

There is no standard way of doing this but maybe below solution would suffice for you. For file upload field we save some properties related to uploaded file in database including the property: 'contentType'

Attached is a sample code using Server Side APIs :

Replace 'TextFile' with integration name of file upload field and 'Key' with integration name of Object.

var rs = rbv_api.selectValue("SELECT TextFile FROM Key WHERE ID = ?", {!id});
var rs1 = rs.split("\n");
var rs2 = rs1[3].split("=");
rbv_api.println(rs2[1]);

The select query returns something like this; from which value "contentType=text/plain" can be extracted.

Thanks, Nitin
