Disable ZZ_YY prefix from attachment when added through record producer

Hi,

I have a 'attachment' type variable in my record producer which i have made mandatory. When the user uploads any attachment, i want the attachment to get saved in the record created. But instead, it is hiding it.

I can see the entry created in sys_attachment but under table name field, a prefix ZZ_YY is getting added which is making the attachment hidden.

Please find the field below - 

find_real_file.png

 

Record in sys_attachment - 

find_real_file.png

Can anyone help me get this attachment added in the record as it happens when add any attachment from here -

This worked well for me

1) I created Async After Insert BR on the target table

2) Script as this

a) Remove the ZZ_YY

b) Then use the Copy Attachment

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

	// Add your code here
	var gr = new GlideRecord("sys_attachment");
	gr.addQuery("table_name", "ZZ_YY" + current.getTableName());
	gr.addQuery("table_sys_id", current.sys_id);
	gr.query();
	if (gr.next()) {
		gr.table_name = current.getTableName();
		gr.update();
		new global.VariableUtil().copy(gr.sys_id, current.getTableName(), current.sys_id); 
	}

})(current, previous);

Output:

1) The file added to the record

find_real_file.png

2) The file present on the attachment variable

Hi Chenab Khanna,

If anyone else is seeing this in 2023, the VariableUtil.copy() method is now VariableUtil.copyAttachment(). so you'll need to modify this line from:

new global.VariableUtil().copy(gr.sys_id, current.getTableName(), current.sys_id); 

to:

new global.VariableUtil().copyAttachment(gr.sys_id, current.getTableName(), current.sys_id);
