        Hi there,

        I have a requirement to copy/save Attachments from a Parent Item to new Child Items. IS there a way to achieve this at all? Client has several layers of Parent/Child items and would like to have attachments to be carried over to Child Items to avoid looking into each vLookup section to check where a particular Attachment is.

          Hi,
          There is no built in support for this in vLookup. I guess it would be better to use some custom code in the child item to show the attachments from the parent by running a query to the parent item to find the attachments and link to them directly. This way you don’t need to duplicate the attachments in the children.

          Let me know if you want me to create a sample code snippet.
