UI action to show list of attachments attached to a form

[Nikhil55]

Can anyone provide UI action script to show list of attachments attached to the form. The functionality will be same as OOB paper clip attachment button present in every form but this ui action should not provide options to users to remove/add attachments. it will just show list of attachments and when clicked on attachment it should open so that user can read it.

Hi @Nikhil55 ,

For this you will have to modify your display BR and UI page both. Make the below mentioned changes :

1. Modify your display Business rule as shown below:

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

	// Add your code here
	var files = [];
	
	var attachGr = new GlideRecord("sys_attachment");
	attachGr.addQuery("table_sys_id",current.getUniqueValue());
	attachGr.query();
	while(attachGr.next()){
		var info = {};
	info.file_name = attachGr.getValue("file_name");
	info.link = attachGr.getLink();
	files.push(info);
	}
	
	g_scratchpad.filesUploaded = JSON.stringify(files);
	

})(current, previous);

2. Modify the UI page as shown below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">
<div id="attachments_uploaded">
	
	</div>
	<script>
		var files = g_scratchpad.filesUploaded !="" ? g_scratchpad.filesUploaded : "";
		files = JSON.parse(files);
		var message = "";
		ele = document.getElementById('attachments_uploaded');
	//alert(files)
	if(files != ""){
		//var fileNames = files.split(",");
		files.forEach(function(fName){
			//console.log(fName)
		message += "<a href ="+fName.link + " >" +fName.file_name + "</a>"+"<br/>";
		
		
		})
	}
		//alert(message)
		ele.innerHTML = message
	</script>
</j:jelly>

I Hope this helps.
