RelatedContentService.createRelatedContent() can be used to do this.

I have posted some code in https://forums.activiti.org/content/pass-attachments-sub-process-call-activity which will show you how to add an attachment to a process instance and how to link it to a form field so that it can be viewed in any display value fields in subsequent tasks.

Hi Ciju,

Yes, I looked into your post earlier and had it working by calling the "relatedContentService.createRelatedContent" and setting the "FileAttach" variable to the content ID returned by the "createRelatedContent" method.

Thanks,
Ramesh
