      Thanks for the document.It is very useful...!!!!

      Had a doubt in regard to content management.Actually in the attachments assignment block that we see in any transaction, created by field is blank.

      Can you please guide me if we can do any enhancement to pull out the created by field for the attachement.

      Thanks in advance....!!!!

      Hi Raju,

      Your problem is that the Create button in your attachment assignment block is disabled and you want to enable it right?  Does you meet with this problem in any transaction? If so, you can set breakpoint to find root cause. The place to set breakpoint could be found in blog how to dynamically control the enablement of attachment maintenance

      Please let me know the result after your try.

      Best regards,

      Jerry

      Hi Jerry,

      Thx for the great info on content management!

      I'm trying to dinamically display the actions ( properties /delete) column on the GS_CM component. I want users to be able to delete attachments before saving a request/record and after saving the delete option not be available anymore.

      Any idea?

      Best Regards,

      João
