Efficient Document Attachment for Custom Table and Page?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 481

I have a custom table and page created, and saving a Document Attachment doesn't seem to save the document to the proper record. I have followed this blog to fix this for one of my tables: https://yzhums.com/11177/

This did work for me, but what if I have multiple tables (the article only fixes this for one table "Payment Terms")? Would I have to make a codeunit for each one? I am trying to find the most efficient way of making this dynamic if I have a lot of custom tables.

Thanks!

    The codeunit has an event subscriber to the page and uses a case statement to determine what to do with a specific table. You merely need to add extra tables to the case statement of the same event subscriber procedure.

    Hi,

    You can pass the record reference to the Document Attachment page and then subscribe to the events for the document attachment to work with your table. 

    Action to open page:

    var
    DocumentAttachmentDetails: Page "Document Attachment Details";
    RecRef: RecordRef;
    begin
    RecRef.GetTable(Rec);
    DocumentAttachmentDetails.OpenForRecRef(RecRef);
    DocumentAttachmentDetails.RunModal();
    end;

    Assuming single field Primary Key

    [EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Table, Database::"Document Attachment", 'OnAfterInitFieldsFromRecRef', '', true, true)]
    local procedure DocumentAttachment_OnAfterInitFieldsFromRecRef(var DocumentAttachment: Record "Document Attachment"; var RecRef: RecordRef)
    var
    FieldRef: FieldRef;
    RecNo: Code[20];
    begin
    case RecRef.Number of
    DATABASE::"Your Table":
    begin
    FieldRef := RecRef.Field(10);
    RecNo := FieldRef.Value;
    DocumentAttachment.Validate("No.", RecNo);
    end;
    end;
    end;

    [EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Page, Page::"Document Attachment Details", 'OnAfterOpenForRecRef', '', true, true)]
    local procedure DocumentAttachmentDetails_OnAfterOpenForRecRef(var RecRef: RecordRef; var DocumentAttachment: Record "Document Attachment"; var FlowFieldsEditable: Boolean)
    var
    FieldRef: FieldRef;
    RecNo: Code[20];
    begin
    case RecRef.Number of
    DATABASE::"Your Table":
    begin
    FieldRef := RecRef.Field(10);
    RecNo := FieldRef.Value;
    DocumentAttachment.SetRange("No.", RecNo);
    FlowFieldsEditable := true;
    end;
    end;
    end;
