Hi everyone 👋

 

I had a requirement where users need to choose the visibility of attachment(s) before uploading them.

 

Requirement

When a user uploads attachment(s) from a record (e.g., Catalog Task):

• Ask the user who should see the attachment(s)

• Based on the selection:

So essentially, we want to control where the attachment is inserted and therefore who can see it.

 

Why Not Native Attachment Button?

Out-of-the-box attachment button:

• Immediately uploads to the current record

• No way to intercept and ask for visibility before insert

So we had to override the behavior.
