Query on Attachment and Base64 Encoding
Hi All,
My requirement is to allow a user to attach a file after opening a modal window. The uploaded file should be encoded to Base64 and encoded data should be sent as a request to a connect Rest API.
Not able to attach a file by either AttachFile or Filepath control and the file path is not getting saved in the requestor page. Please help me on how to achieve this requirement and the steps to encode the file.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi @Hyma7,
We can use the pxAttachContent OOTB control to allow the user to attach a file in a modal window.
After the file is attached to the case, we have a page list pyCaseRelatedContent available under pyWorkPage to maintain the ref data of the attachment.
On every page, we have the pxLinkedRefTo property that will maintain the Params for the file.
EX:
|
DATA-WORKATTACH-FILE ONKTBO-SAMPLE-WORK S-1055!20220310T090850.822 GMT |
Where pxRefObjectKey is ONKTBO-SAMPLE-WORK S-1055 and pxAttachKey is 20220310T090850.822 GMT.

You need to create a data page with source as a lookup in Data-WorkAttach-File class and need to pass the pxRefObjectKey and pxAttachKey to get the base64 encoded stream of the particular document. It will be available under the pyAttachStream property.
Hope this will help you in calling the connect rest with base64 encoded stream.
