Change "file storage" for a specific "file" field

[Firyo]

Hi there,

I recently added multiples file storages "types" to my EspoCRM (following this post https://forum.espocrm.com/forum/deve...urgent-problem).
Everyone of my "custom" file storages are just there to split the different upload files on my CRM (So It's like 'data/upload/something' for all of them).

So I'm looking for a way to tell the CRM that if someone fill a file into a specific field into a specific entity, this file must be stored in the "Something" storage and not the default one.

Kind regards,
Firyo.

Hi,

You can set 'storage' attribute for an attachment entity in a before-save hook.

Hi yuri,

Okay, I've created an override for the "Attachement" repository class and called a function before the call of the function "processBeforeSaveNew".

Now I wanted to know, is the "Attachment" entity meant to be linked to multiple entities ?
I'm asking this because when I remove the link between one of them the Attachement itself is removed but still shown as linked in the other linked entities.

Ok, after some research I apears that an Attachment is meant to be linked to only one entity.

Correct. Attachment record can be duplicated with its sourceId referring to the original to prevent necessity to duplicate an actual file.

Ok, in this case I'll edit my procedure that was using the same Attachment for multiple entities.
