File information in pyWorkAttachmentsFeedElement
SA-18661
Summary
After migration from Pega 6.2sp2 to Pega 7.1.8, there is information missing in the OOTB section pyWorkAttachmentsFeedElement after attaching a file with section pyWorkAttachments.
In Pega 6.2sp2, information .pyID and .pxCreateDateTime are present in file description.
In Pega 7.1.8, this information is not present.
Error Messages
Not applicable
Steps to Reproduce
Use the standard section pyWorkAttachments.
Atttach a file.
Review the file description
Root Cause
Starting in Pega 7.1.5, pyWorkAttachmentsFeedDesc display .pyCategory instead of .pxCreateDateTime.
This change was made because the category property is a more useful property to display as PRPC is using attachment categories more for attachment management (easy referencing, auto populated page list, validations, etc.).
Resolution
If the need for .pyCreateDateTime still exists, then either the section pyWorkAttachmentsFeedDesc needs to be overridden or a custom section needs to be used.
