Can I copy the contents (files) of the upload control to another upload control? I would then like to clear the contents of the original upload control.

  Hello Patrick,
  
  Yes, you can get uploaded file object using eFormHelper.
  Please refer the below documentation links.
  To get uploaded files
  https://documentation.agilepoint.com/00/appbuilder/cloudjsGetUploadedFiles.html

  Copy to another fileupload control using eFormhelper.

  Now that I have the files added into another upload control, is there a way to remove them from the original upload control? Is there a RemoveFilesFromFileControl?

  Hello Patrick,

  You can achieve it through JavaScript. Please try the below script, hope it might help.

  Syntax:

  $('[controlholdername="ControlInternalID "] .dz-preview').remove();

  Example:

  $('[controlholdername="FileUpload1 "] .dz-preview').remove();

  Note: Running this script will remove it from the control level. Files will be in the Target Location.

  Hi Aravind,

  This will remove the content from UI however still it gets attached to task if user submits the form. Any alternate to remove the files on form load and keep files in Target Location. Once user submits the form, Files should not get attached to task.

  Regards,

  Braj

  Hello Braj,
  If attachments are not required for the next task, Please go to the control properties Advance Tab,
  Select the option "Do Not Persist" from the dropdown Data Security Settings. When this option is selected data will not be present in the BackEnd(AgilePoint Process Data).
  Please find the below screen capture.
   
  Hope this help

  Thanks Aravind. I know this option. 

  Actually my scenario is when User wants to Clone the Process at that time at least, user should be able to clear the File Upload control without impacting the Old completed process. Have you tried AgilePoint's Clone feature?

  Braj, Clone feature is a request to reload entire data of an instance into new fresh eForm. It does not have selective form fields to be considered/ignored.

  I agree Harish. However there is no sense of referring same attachments for all the processes if Cloned the form to reuse form data only. Also if we want to remove it from Cloned form manually then it will remove attachments from original Process as well. There is no way to get rid off Old attachments like we can modify the form data but can't remove attachments.
