Hi @CharlesW2139, Do you have the new attachment category available? If yes, please check the category in the property of that attachmemnt pagelist. Please check the AttachementConfig screenshot. If the configuration is available, you can try to open the existing attachment work object and update. If No, you need to add the new attachment category in the case type and update the property reference as mentioned.

Hope you are doing well.
There are two ways to change the pyCategory name in the pxObj Class: Link-Attachment in Pega:
1. Using the Property Editor:
This is the recommended approach for most situations. Here's how to do it:
Open the pxObj Class in Dev Studio. Go to the Properties tab. Find the pyCategory property. Click on the Edit icon next to the property value. Enter the new category name in the Value field. Click OK to save your changes.
2. Using an Activity:
You can also use an activity to change the pyCategory name dynamically. This can be useful if you need to change the category based on certain conditions. Here's how to do it:
Create a new activity or modify an existing one. Add a Property-Set step to the activity. In the Property-Set step, set the Target Property to pyCategory. Set the Value to the desired category name. You can use a literal value, a property reference, or an expression. Run the activity to update the pyCategory name.

Important Notes:
Changing the pyCategory name can have significant impact on your application. Make sure you understand the implications before making any changes. It's recommended to test your changes thoroughly in a non-production environment before deploying them to production. If you're unsure about how to proceed, consult with a Pega expert.
Additional Considerations:
If you're using the Link-Attachment class to store attachments for work objects, you may also need to update the pyAttachCategory property on the work object class. This property determines the category that is used to store the attachments in the Pega database. You may also need to update any reports or other components that rely on the pyCategory name.
By following these steps, you can successfully change the pyCategory name in the pxObj Class: Link-Attachment in Pega.
Please let me know if it helps.
