Edit Attachments - How do you add another field to the Edit Attachments form? Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

I am trying to add a field to the "Edit Attachments" form that pops up when you Drag an attachment into SLX, or when you right click and edit the attachment. Is the Edit Attachments form editable via Architect? I can't find the plugin anywhere. If I am unable to edit the plugin via Architect what would be the best way to go about getting a value into my newly created field in the Attachments Table?

Insert a script into the SLX Attachments Support common script:

Sub OnEditFileAttachment
If grdAttach.GetCurrentField("ATTACHID") <> "" Then 'DNL
If DoesAttachmentExist(gStrAttachPath & grdAttach.GetCurrentField("FILENAME"), grdAttach.GetCurrentField("DESCRIPTION"), True) Then 'DNL
Application.BasicFunctions.EditFileAttachment(grdAttach.GetCurrentField("ATTACHID")) 'DNL
grdAttach.Refresh
End If
End If
End Sub

or go back a step to the grid/tab form itself......
if you want to keep this specific to Account or Contact, etc.

Sub cmdEditClick(Sender)
OnEditFileAttachment
End Sub

Am thinking you may have to populate this field with Drop Ons, Adds, etc.....

I tried to insert a some code into the SLX Attachments Support common script but I found it to be quite difficult to get the desired result. I ended up creating a new Tab and called it Attachments V2 with a standard data grid that showed all of the existing attachments and the only EditOption being Edit which pulls up a Data Form to input the data into the new field. Thanks for your reply RJ.
