Hi
I noticed that the attachments (ie excel file) included in the start event form does not seem to get carried through the workflow for review / approval.
Would you be able to give any advice on this please?
thanks

Hi
Welcome to the community.
Attachments in SharePoint are only associated with the item they are attached to.
When a task is created, it is a new item that lives in a task list in SharePoint.
If you would like to see attachments from the item that the workflow is running on in your tasks, you can do one of two things.
You can get the URL of the attachment and show the URL on the task. (easy)
Or
You can copy the attachment from the start item to the task item. (harder but doable)
