Tech Tip: USERS TO BLOB will return empty blob in project mode
PRODUCT: 4D | VERSION: 19 | PLATFORM: Mac & Win
Published On: January 4, 2023

When dealing with any custom built logins or saving users as a blob into a database, one thing to note is that in project mode, the command USERS TO BLOB will return an empty blob. The reasoning for this behavior is that users are no longer saved within the structure file. Instead, the users are saved within the "directory.json" file in the Settings folder.

As an alternative, Document to text can be used on the "directory.json" file. From here, it is up to the developer to decide how to handle the data.
