Link creation disabled while configuring Embedded Attachment field
Hello All,
We have configured an embedded attachment field on a table. However, we are facing an issue where, whenever a document is attached through this embedded field and the case is moved forward, an entry is created in the Data-WorkAttach-File class, but no corresponding entry is created in the Link-Attachment class.
Upon further analysis, we observed that Pega explicitly sets a parameter to "True", which prevents the creation of a Link-Attachment record (refer to the attached screenshot with the highlighted code).
We would like to understand the following:
1. Why is the link creation intentionally disabled for attachments added through an embedded attachment field?
2. Since there is no extension point or configuration option to modify this parameter, is there a recommended approach to enable link creation in this case?
3. If we implement a custom solution to manually create entries in the Link-Attachment class, what potential issues or challenges could we face in the future (e.g., upgrade impact, attachment retrieval inconsistencies, or performance considerations)? Activity rule which are referred: pzApplyPageInstructions (class Work-) step 3.9 where param skipLinkAttachment set as "true"
