Remove attachments using GlideSysAttachment

[janpost]

Is it possible to remove attachments by using GlideSysAttachment? I'm looking for a function similar to GlideSysAttachment.copy(...), something like GlideSysAttachment.remove(...) or GlideSysAttachment.delete(...). If there is such a function where is it documented?

Hi Brad,

But i'm unable to delete my attachments in task using this ,

var task = new GlideRecord('sc_task');

task.addQuery('request_item',current.table_sys_id);

task.query();

while(task.next()) {

gs.log("task.sysid" + task.sys_id);

var attach = new GlideSysAttachment();

attach.deleteAll(task.sys_id);

GlideSysAttachment.copy('sc_req_item', current.table_sys_id, 'sc_task', task.sys_id);

}

I'm writing this BR on sys_ attachment.

Condition builder current.table_name == 'sc_req_item'

I would like to delete all my old attachments in task and copy all my attachments from RITM everytime i add attachment to RITM

It appears that you're passing the "deleteAttachments" a sys_id string instead of a GlideRecord object. Try this instead...

Old code:

var attach = new GlideSysAttachment();

attach.deleteAll(task.sys_id);

New code:

var attach = new GlideSysAttachment();

attach.deleteAll(task);

Odd.. I get this:

Error running business rule 'Attachments for Approval Emails (Claims)' on sysapproval_approver:Created 08-19-2016 09:50:52:AM, exception: org.mozilla.javascript.EvaluatorException: Can't find method com.glide.ui.SysAttachment.deleteAll(string). (; line 243)

So I'm using this instead.

David,

Are you using this in a scoped app? If so, the available APIs are different from the global application scope (and very limited I might add).

There is a "deleteAttachement" method, but since you have to query for the attachments manually (like you did in your solution below), it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to bother with it.
