Can you ask your question again with punctuation, so we can read what it is exactly you are asking?

Hi @jreddy7
1. Use the built-in Copy Attachment action to copy attachments from the Catalog Task to the RITM upon the task closure
- If it is WF/BR, Check for script
GlideSysAttachment.copy('sc_task', current.getUniqueValue(), 'sc_req_item', current.request_item.getUniqueValue());
https://www.servicenow.com/community/developer-forum/attachment-in-approval-notification/m-p/1465852
- Create an Email Notification Script for the .pdf
You can retrieve and attach the Form 20.pdf using an Email Script
- Navigate to System Policy > Email > Notification Email Scripts and click New.
- Name it: include_final_form
(function runMailScript(current, template, email, event, email_action) {
var grAttach = new GlideRecord('sys_attachment');
grAttach.addQuery('table_sys_id', current.sysapproval.sys_id);
grAttach.addQuery('table_name', 'sc_req_item');
grAttach.addQuery('file_name', 'CONTAINS', '.pdf');
grAttach.orderByDesc('sys_created_on');
grAttach.query();
if (grAttach.next()) {
template.print('Attachment: <a href="sys_attachment.do?sys_id=' + grAttach.sys_id + '">' + grAttach.file_name + '</a>\n');
email.addAttachment(grAttach.getValue('sys_id'));
}
})(current, template, email, event, email_action);
3: Create the Approval Notification
- Navigate to System Notification > Email > Notifications and click New.
- Set Table to Approval [sys_approval_approver].
- Under the When to receive tab, set the condition to trigger when State changes to Requested.
- Under the What it will contain tab, invoke your script in the message body using ${mail_script:include_final_form}.
