    Hi Samb, to clarify do you want the attachment file to be an external Url? or do you want to add a custom Url field to the notes entity? Neither of these actions are supported, Maybe you should create a Custom Activity instead to store your external URLs?

    Does this answer your question, Kindly Verify?

    Best Wishes, Raz

    First retrieve the note by Id using service.retrieve("annotation", guid noteId, columnset(true)

    Then create another note entity to update

    Annotation noteToUpdate=new Annotation();

    or Entity noteToUpdate=new Entity("annotation");

    noteToUpdate.Id=Id of the retrieved note.

    noteToUpdate.FileName = "ExampleAnnotationAttachment.txt",

    noteToUpdate.DocumentBody = Convert.ToBase64String(

                               new UnicodeEncoding().GetBytes("Sample Annotation Text")),

                           MimeType = "text/plain"

    Did you manage to get this to work?

    I'm working with the same issue, where I need to update the note to an url with a reference to the document after I have exported it to SharePoint.
