Documents in Research Tab

Why did someone think it was a good idea to disable document uploads in the Research tab?  If it was, in fact, removed because of the Windows Operating System, why are we still able to attach documents in Plans?  The operating system doesn't change from tab to tab.  Having research documents in two different places on a constituent's record is cumbersome and not very efficient.  This needs to change back.

    I agree. The Documents tab should really have been modified to mimic the way files are attached to Plan steps when Plans appeared, but I believe the holdup is with the underlying data. In the case of this tab it contains OLE header/footer data, in addition to the binary file, that make extracting the files challenging in some cases. Hopefully someone from the network will chime in and update us about the status of this tab and its data.
