  • Attachments added through input forms aren't displayed in the record activity stream by default, when working offline. Configure the write-back action step to associate attachments with the activity stream, so they appear immediately alongside other record updates.

    Input forms create and update records, while inheriting the context of the record from which they are opened. When working offline, form changes and attachments are stored locally and queued in the Outbox, then synced automatically once connectivity is restored. By default, attachments added offline aren't shown in the record activity stream while the user is offline.

    To display attachments immediately in the activity stream, configure the write-back-action step field Associate attachments to current record to include any relevant attachment inputs in the input form. This verifies that attachments added offline are also reflected in the record’s activity stream. This configuration is applicable when the offline step is set to apply to offline only or both offline and online.
