Allow deploying resources in libraries

New

Service Studio

Libraries always seemed to me like a good place to upload some resources like images and fonts.

When trying to place fonts, I ran into a problem of not being able to set the deploy action to "Deploy to Target Directory", as the option is blocked.

Could this restriction be lifted?

Hi Tiago,

In the documentation of libraries is described how library resources are deployed:

Hi @Daniël Kuhlmann,

I understand the reason why it's not possible, but from my experience developers expect this to be an option and I thought outsystems could work their magic and make this seamless. It makes conceptual sense for a library to hold the theme and resources, so it would be nice if it "just works".

Let me know what you think :)
