Hi Dan,
I know its been a while since this topic had come up. Always fascinated by your solutions like IOL method and so on. Is there anyway we could implement this within QuickBase to work with a button action? For example, if the user clicks on the button, the attachment will be copied over to the attachment field of the target record? I'm very new to JS and struggling to find any solution myself.
Always appreciate what you offer to the community!

- MarkShnier__You5 years agoQrew ChampionAlas, Dan has not been seen in on this Forum for about a year. Quite a loss. There is a non code technique to give the appearance of a file attachment in another table where the user can see the file and download it, if that is of interest to you.

So the actually file is not loaded twice, but you have a link which behaves as a file attachment field for viewing.

------------------------------- HectorAubert5 years agoQrew TraineeThanks Mark. I had seen this option in a separate post. At first, I dismissed it as an option, but then I had an "Aha" moment and figured out how to make it work for my use case. I didn't want users to always have access to download the file. So, I created form rules to hide/show the download button (lookup field from parent table) at certain step in the workflow. Works great!
Thanks again!
