Want to copy the attachments from parent to child case

[saic2]

I want to know that if we have 5 attachments in parent case and I need an ability to select and copy only 2 out of 5 attachments into child case. Is It possible?

Hello @saic2,

Yes,  You can write a After BR insert/ update

(function executeRule(current, previous){
var parentRecord = new GlideRecord('parent_table');

parentRecord.addQuery('sys_id', current.parent_id);

parentRecord.query();

if(parentRecord.next()){

var attach = new GlidesysAttachment();

var attachments copied = attach.copy('parent_table',parentRecord.sys_id,current.getTableName(),current.sys_id);

if(attachments copied < 2){

gs.info('copied' + attachments copied + 'attachments from ' + parentRecord.sys_id + 'to' + current.sys_id);

}) (current, previous);

Seems you misunderstood the question.

The question says to copy 2 out of 5 files and not all.

@saic2 

if you use GlideSysAttachment.copy() it will copy all

To copy specific you need custom logic, check below link and enhance, I shared solution 6 years ago
