When I try to submit a catalog item that was built for snc_external, I am able to go over and populate all variables except for the attachment ones.
When trying to upload the file , the file name never shows up in the variable as usually it will do
Once I added a file it shows there
and I see the temp entry in sys_attachment
But while doing this as snc_external.... after selecting the file , the variable shows like this
Even though a new temp entry was created on sys_attachment.
I have already reviewed ACLs on the sys_attachment table and sc_cart_item . I wonder if you have any other ideas.
Thanks

@Michael183 It seems that your user with snc_external role doesn't have the create ACL permissions on the sys_attachment table. Please create an ACL to address this and your external user will be able to upload the attachments.

ensure the snc_external user has CREATE ACL on sys_attachment table
Also did you try with that user if they can add file to paper-clip icon and it moves to the target record?
If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.
