Copying attachments from one sc_task to another sc_task

[Chad Wilhelm1]

Hello,

We have a business requirement to copy attachments from one sc_task to another sc_task.   We currently have a catalog item that creates a sc_task for a request for quote then once the sc_task is closed complete the UI Action Purchase is available which then creates another request copying the variables from the first request.   I tried to add the copy attachment code below in yellow.   Any assistance would be appreciated

UI Action

var cartId = GlideGuid.generate(null);
var cart = new Cart(cartId);
var item = cart.addItem('de44ce8013d41bc0fa7c73076144b09d'); //GTO Procurement - Quote/Purchase/Return Request

//iterate through all properties of current.request_item.variables set them as the values for the new request
for (var property in current.variables){
if (property == 'request_type')
cart.setVariable(item, property, "Purchase");
else
cart.setVariable(item, property, current.variables[property]);
}

var rc = cart.placeOrder();
gs.addInfoMessage("Purchase request has been submitted. Request number is " + rc.number);
GlideSysAttachment.copy('sc_task',current.getUniqueValue(),'sc_task',rc.sys_id);
rc.update();
action.setRedirectURL(current);

Can I recommend a better way to avoid duplicates: https://community.servicenow.com/community?id=community_blog&sys_id=adfce2a5dbd0dbc01dcaf3231f961934...

Hello Michael,

I saw this but it uses the parent field off task which is the RITM number, in this case since we are generating a new request the RITM will be a different number.

Thanks,

Chad

rc.sys_id will return you request sys_id, not the catalog task

Please refer below thread as  cart.placeOrder();  returns request object not sc object
