HI!

I have a workflow where I need to be able to carry over an attachment (or two). I have a section where in one approval task (phase 3) you can upload an attachment and once its ready to go to the next approver (phase 4), the attachment carries over to be viewed. Is that possible? If so, how does one approach this? I have been trying for hours and unable to find anything on attempting this, help?

 

Upload attachment in Phase 3 and carry over to Phase 4:

    Hi ​@jpacheco,

    There is no way to configure a default attachment in the file upload control on a form.
    The only way to pass the attachment from task form 1 to task 2 is to attach it to task 2's email.

    An alternative approach would be to store the attachments and then add the URL(s) to the task 2 form that point to the attachments.
