I created a custom external file type, but I am having trouble Creating Details from a View Definition.

We had this same problem.  We found our problem was due to permissions on the table.  Once the permissions were set, then we stopped getting this error.

I see you modified the permissions in the ‘Presentation Objects by Component’ Tab.  Did you try changing the permissions in the ‘Database Objects’ Tab?
