How to add Download link to File field I would like to know how I can make File field type display the upload as a download link, instead of having a link. So that user can just click and it will download).

The file field type, I added to a custom Content Type, which I created programmatically through a module.

Currently it looks like below, when I click the link, it takes to the uploaded file page. I would like to have it download instead.

Or maybe is there a way to change the view or add additional view to File types for download? or maybe change view for Content Type where it displays the Download link for the file?
If you don't need to update the link tag, then just use the download attribute, it should do the trick.
