How to access record links after upgrade to BC October 2019 release

Posted on by Urban Varsek 5

Hi,

Our users have been storing links to external document fileserver using Show Attached --> Links actions on Posted Purchase Invoices.

We recently upgraded to october 2019 release and noticed that above mentioned actions are gone from Posted Purchase Invoices page (as well as other pages that had this option). I know actual data is still stored in Record Link table, but do not know how to access it through client. 

Is there an alternative way to read and insert this data now that Show Attached action is gone from the page?

Thank you in advance.

    Maybe something for http://aka.ms/bcideas?

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    Thank you for answer, however this does not solve my issue. I am aware of option to add attachments in factbox, however it is only possible to:

    1.) Attach documents (which displays records from Document Attachment table, which is a different thing)

    2.) Add notes (not links)

    I suppose for future use, users could add links as notes, however they still cannot access links that they added in the past.

    Factbox has option to add Links on some other pages (like Items, which is also example used in BC help document) but not on sales or purchase document pages. Unless there is a way to add option for adding Links to page factbox that I am not aware of?

    Attachment is on the right side fact box, Click the "i" icon to expand factbox if it's not showing or press " Alt + F2"
