Hi, any news on the highly awaited feature? > [@Persistent Component data folder](https://forum.knime.com/t/persistent-component-data-folder/30556): > > Hi, Would you kindly add a +1 for the feature of being able to persist arbitrary data files with a component (i.e. a data folder in the component that persists when the component is copied). The ticket number is AP-6125. Please see [Include data within a component](https://forum.knime.com/t/include-data-within-a-component/25745) (I would have posted there, but that topic has been closed). Thanks! > [@Sharing Data inside component](https://forum.knime.com/t/sharing-data-inside-component/32572): > > Identical to [this](https://forum.knime.com/t/using-workflow-credentials-inside-components/26088) closed topic. Needed file inside component folder gets deleted upon sharing. Is there any update on this issue? +100 from my side. > [@Include data within a component](https://forum.knime.com/t/include-data-within-a-component/25745): > > I have created a component containing a Generic Javascript View that generates a choropleth map based on specific German subdivision (“Kreise”). I want to include the geojson file that defines the subdivisions’ polygons and is read by a JSON Reader node in the component. How can I do that? By the way, the data actually gets uploaded, stored, and downloaded, too. The problem is just that it gets deleted when saving the workflow locally. This is even the case for locally created nodes/components with data e.g. if you are trying to use “knime://knime.node”. It forces you to save the workflow before being able to use the protocol for nodes. Then you save it, aaand it’s gone (your data folder). Cheers Julianus ---

Hi Julianus, If you use the Table Creator and inform the data there (through CTRL-C + CTRL-V and a few adjustments in the header), then make it part of your component, would that not work? Regards, Matheus ---

Hi Matheus, thanks for the input. It probably would work for table-based data easily yes. In my case, it is a small folder structure with HTML templates and JS scripts. I might be able to put every file into a single cell table and write it to disk 😃 If I am really bored I might try that. Thanks, Julianus ---
