How can I make a button to download SharePoint attachments?
About SharePoint.
I'm currently using SharePoint Online's list feature to attach files and share them within my team.
I want to count the number of downloaded attachments, but it seems that it is not a standard function.
So I want to add a new column in the list using JSON, set up a DL button, and download the attached file and count the number of DLs at the same time when the DL button is pressed, but I don't know how to implement it.
If you know any useful information or another implementation method, please let me know.

Toi25 there's no customRowAction in JSON to download a document. I think the only thing you could do is to use the button to start a flow in Power Automate to email the attachment to the user, and the flow then increments a column in your list by 1. But it's not a very good workaround.

Thanks.
