Workflow download attachment from form

asked on March 13, 2023

Hi all,

 

This seems simple yet, I can't seem to get it working. I have a form with an attachment field that invokes a workflow, in that workflow I want to use a download electronic document to retrieve that attachment. I have retrieved business process variables and go the field, how do I then attach it to my download electronic document activity. I have tried starting entry however it does not work.

What am I missing here?

LF 11.2

Thanks

I think that you would first need to save the attachment to the repository, then workflow can use that document.

Retrieve Business Process Field Variable makes the files from file uploads variables available to Workflow. You will need to use a For Each File activity to access the files and use them in Attach Electronic Document.

Thanks Craig, I'll look into how I can identify the attached document in the repo.

Thanks Miruna, 

 

Whats the best way to track an attachment, I've been looking at it, I know when I have a write to repo task, I can specify Metatags etc. However for fileattachments I can't see anywhere I can tag attributes to identify it?
