attachment.uploaded event triggering and subsequent scripting

[verdakosnett]

I have form on which i track who uploaded what attachment as in the screen capture below:

This works fine as long as the form is submitted but obviously it is no good if a user drags a file to the form. So, I registered an event as follows:

I then wrote a business rule:

and nothing happened....Where did I go wrong?

You need a business rule on sys_attachment table. Because adding an attachment will not update the record, so writing business rule on the task table will not help.

[verdakosnett]

So, how do I access the record to which an attachment was attached. Is it impossible?

[verdakosnett]

Wait, i think   I have it. I use the current.sys id and get the current.table_sys_id, which should give me the record id.

[Abhinay Erra]

Yes, in the sys_attachment table, you will have both the table and sys_id of the record in that table.

[Abhinay Erra]

This is how you can access the record

var gr= new GlideRecord(current.table_name);

if(gr.get(current.table_sys_id)){

//do your manipulation here

}
