1. Is this request related to a challenge you're experiencing? Tell me about your story.

In subsequent versions, can Dify support code nodes to output file type variables after running Python? The reason why I have such a demand is that after I use the model to generate character output variables, if I use tools in the market, such as the Markdown to Docx file tool, the outline level and title of the generated docx file are not what I want. At this time, I hope to highly customize the docx format through code nodes. However, the current mechanism of Dify: what type can be recognized by downstream nodes (such as the "Complete" node) depends entirely on what type the upstream node declares in the UI. Since the "Code" node cannot declare that it will output a "file" on the UI, the "Complete" node can never treat the variable it receives as a file, and it can never generate a download link. This results in that even if I can write Python code to complete the code execution node and highly format my document, I cannot output the document download link I want. I hope that developers can support the file output variable type support of the code execution node in subsequent versions.

Hi, @mskbysh. I'm Dosu, and I'm helping the Dify team manage their backlog and am marking this issue as stale.

Issue Summary:

• You requested support for code nodes to output file-type variables, enabling creation of structured document formats like docx.
• Currently, the UI does not support code nodes declaring file outputs, preventing downstream nodes from generating download links.
• You expressed interest in contributing to this feature.
• There has been no activity or response on this issue so far.

Next Steps:

• Please let me know if this feature request is still relevant to the latest version of Dify by commenting on this issue.
• If I do not hear back within 15 days, this issue will be automatically closed.

Thank you for your understanding and contribution!
