Attachment - how to access properties

[mrahn]

Dear community.

Using the Activiti App I wonder how I could access properties of attachments. Attachments seem to be of a complex datatype.

I would like to use a attachments name in a execution listener or task listener - writing it to variable (execution.setVariable ..).

Since I have no access to the Code (using the app only) and since documentation is VERY limited I need you help with this.

Thank you Ciju!

Your solution works and does exactly what my use case requires!

.. I'm still interested to learn how to address the file object type, e.g. to get all file names attached

Hi Marco,

Good to know that it helped!

To get other attributes of the file object on the UI side, you can inspect the field value by logging the field value to console (console.log(<your-field.value>)) and access it using java script.

However if you want to extract the file attributes on the server side, use the relatedContentService bean in your custom java code or script.
