Duplication of attachments in the database CLOSED
3

Hello everyone,

each time an instance is edited via a path, the attachments are duplicated in the database, even though they may not have been customized.

Would it be possible for the attachments to only be duplicated if the current version has actually been edited?

Best regards
Marc

Hello Marc,

Data is not duplicated in the database if you don't make changes to the attachment. Basic attachment information is stored in the database in the [WFDataAttachments] table, while the attachment history, triggered by any edits, is stored in the [WFAttachmentFiles] table. If you make changes to the attachment, such as updating the category or description using WEBCON actions, the version history will increase.
