Hello,

We want to remove the attachments uploaded in a solution in Archer after some time (say 3 years). 

Is it possible to achieve?

  Hello, This may not be possible Archer OOB. But Can be achievable by following approach.

  1) Create a calculated trigger field which will set to YES if the Attachment is 3 years old(Based on last upload date).

  2) Update the attachment field to Empty of records having trigger value YES By DataFeed or API Call.

  3) The attachments will became orphaned and they will be handled by nightly clean-ups scripts that run within the platform to clean up.

  Would like to use the Upload date of the attachment field to determine the age of the attachment. This capability is being asked more from process owners. Does the API provide the ability to use the attachment attributes? Thanks

  @ldarrow, none of the APIs unfortunately returns any meta data for attachments.
