Products

• Clarity PPM On Premise

Issue/Introduction

If we upload attachments into an 'Attachment' type attribute of an object instance (in either an out of the box or custom object) and afterwards, the object instance is deleted from the system - do the attachments remain in the system?

Environment

Release : 15.9.1

Component : CLARITY COLLABORATION (DOC & ACTION ITEMS)

Resolution

No. Deleting object instances will also delete its attachments from an attachment type attribute, regardless of the configuration on where files are stored (filesystem / database).
