Hi @Samiksha2 ,

 

Copy past the exact code in your UI action script section, which you will be creating on sc_task table:  

var taskRec = new GlideRecord('sc_task');

taskRec.addQuery('sys_id', current.sys_id);
taskRec.query();

if (taskRec.next()) {

    var attachment = new GlideRecord('sys_attachment');

    attachment.addQuery('table_sys_id', current.sys_id);
    attachment.orderByDesc('sys_created_on');
    attachment.query();

    if (attachment.next()) {

        var ritmRec = new GlideRecord('sc_req_item');

        ritmRec.addQuery('sys_id', taskRec.request_item);
        ritmRec.query();

        if (ritmRec.next()) {

            var gsa = new GlideSysAttachment();
            gsa.writeContentStream(
                ritmRec,
                attachment.file_name,
                attachment.content_type,
                gsa.getContentStream(attachment.sys_id));
        }

    }
}
