    Good day

    I have a situation where the user wants to upload a csv file which we should then use to create a large number of records.

    What is the correct approach to achieve this? The RestEntitiesWebHandler only allows a JsonConstruct or an empty memptr, so that is clearly not the way to go.

    My guess would be that you have to implement a Web handler for this purpose.

    Thanks Mike. Will do it like that then.

    I was hoping there is a ready made solution for this similar to the RestEntitiesWebHandler. But I guess it is a fairly rare use case.

    There may be at some point (no promise though) - but we're thinking in terms of a more specific file upload endpoint. There are some security considerations to make.
