 Hi there, 
After attaching a file, the DocumentAttachment."No." and DocumentAttachment.EmpCode fields are not being updated. How can I ensure these fields are correctly updated? Below is the code and events I have subscribed to, and I have referred to YUN ZHU sir's blog. 

 
codeunit 50204 DocumentAttachment
{
    [EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Page, Page::"Document Attachment Factbox", 'OnBeforeDrillDown', '', false, false)]
    local procedure OnBeforeDrillDown(DocumentAttachment: Record "Document Attachment"; var RecRef: RecordRef);
    var
        Employee: Record Employees;
    begin
        case DocumentAttachment."Table ID" of
            DATABASE::Employees:
                begin
                    RecRef.Open(DATABASE::Employees);
                    Employee.SetRange(EmpID, DocumentAttachment."No.");
                    Employee.SetRange(EmpCode, DocumentAttachment.EmpCode);
                    if Employee.FindFirst() then begin
                        RecRef.GetTable(Employee);
                    end;
                end;
        end;
    end;
 
    [EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Page, Page::"Document Attachment Details", 'OnAfterOpenForRecRef', '', false, false)]
    local procedure OnAfterOpenForRecRef(var DocumentAttachment: Record "Document Attachment"; var RecRef: RecordRef);
    var
        FieldRef: FieldRef;
        RecNo: Code[20];
        EmpCd: Code[10];
        EmpTyp: Enum EmployeeType;
    begin
        case RecRef.Number of
            DATABASE::Employees:
                begin
                    FieldRef := RecRef.Field(1);
                    RecNo := FieldRef.Value;
                    DocumentAttachment.SetRange("No.", RecNo);
 
                    FieldRef := RecRef.Field(4);
                    EmpCd := FieldRef.Value;
                    DocumentAttachment.SetRange(EmpCode, EmpCd);
                end;
        end;
    end;
 
    [EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Table, Database::"Document Attachment", 'OnAfterInitFieldsFromRecRef', '', false, false)]
    local procedure OnAfterInitFieldsFromRecRef(var DocumentAttachment: Record "Document Attachment"; var RecRef: RecordRef)
    var
        FieldRef: FieldRef;
        RecNo: Code[20];
        EmpCd: Code[10];
        EmpTyp: Enum EmployeeType;
    begin
        case RecRef.Number of
            DATABASE::Employees:
                begin
                    FieldRef := RecRef.Field(1);
                    RecNo := FieldRef.Value;
                    DocumentAttachment.Validate("No.", RecNo);
 
                    FieldRef := RecRef.Field(4);
                    EmpCd := FieldRef.Value;
                    DocumentAttachment.Validate(EmpCode, EmpCd);
                end;
        end;
    end;
}

    I have exactly the same issue, I am trying to use the Document Attachement with a custom table that has 2 fields as primary key but it doesn't work as expected.
    The fields DocumentAttachment."No." and DocumentAttachment.CustomField would not get a value after the document attachement is uploaded, when I use the Attachement factbox link (by clicking the number of items). 
    With the exact same code for the event subscribers, everything works great if I use an action from my page using the following trigger:
     
                    trigger OnAction()
                    var
                        DocumentAttachmentDetails: Page "Document Attachment Details";
                        RecRef: RecordRef;
                    begin
                        RecRef.GetTable(Rec);
                        DocumentAttachmentDetails.OpenForRecRef(RecRef);
                        DocumentAttachmentDetails.RunModal();
                    end;
     
    I think that the problem is at OnBeforeDrillDown where the selected row from my custom table is not passing through to the factbox and therefore the RecRef  although has the correct table structure doesn't have the data.

    Does anyone has a suggestion where to check/change something?

    Hello Safwan,
     
    I see that you are using custom Employees table.
    Is the EmpCode's field ID = 4 on this custom table?
     
    Personally, I haven't tried using the two keys method.
     
    Does it work if you are using EmpID?

    Thank you gdrenteria, for your swift reply. I tried adding the parameter and tested it but still fields data is not being assigned.

    Hi
    Can you review this event? Apparently a parameter is missing.
     
       [IntegrationEvent(false, false)]
        local procedure OnAfterOpenForRecRef(var DocumentAttachment: Record "Document Attachment"; var RecRef: RecordRef; var FlowFieldsEditable: Boolean)
        begin
        end;
    BR
