Has anyone used the the Actions feature to copy a file attachment from one table to another.

Has anyone used the the Actions feature to copy a file attachment from one table to another. That is the only field that does not seem to transfer. I have created an app to house customer approval ...

Hi Mark, I tried using this formula in my Source table(Table 1) to copy the attachment document from Table 1 to Table 2. Quickbase Action is creating a record in Table 2 but the URL/Attachment is not copied. Can you please help me with this.

TIA

Hema,

I think you misunderstood my post. That code will allow you give the user a link to display the file attachment by clicking a link on a different table from where the file attachment was loaded. 

It will not copy the actual file to another table.

    Got you! Thank you for the clarification.
    I'm trying to move a set of file Attachments from Table 1 to its own (New) table( Document table). Is there a way to do it without downloading and attaching the Documents multiple times?

    TIA

      I don't know of a no code solution.  If its a one time thing and not too large, then just do it manually.  If it's a one time thing but you have hundreds of files, then you can contract Juiced to move them.
