Migrate attachment from one entity to another

Hi, how to export/copy/move all data to a new entity (same application)?

Hi,
Basically the attachments can be linked to another entity, that means that the entity will have a reference to some specific attachments. The system logic avoiding to creating a new one attachment file for another entity. It just creates a link to the existing one. You can try to achieve what you want by utilizing one of the next ways:
Formula - https://docs.espocrm.com/administration/formula/
Workflow - https://docs.espocrm.com/administration/workflows/
BPM - https://docs.espocrm.com/administration/bpm/
Hook - https://docs.espocrm.com/development/hooks/ (code skiils require)

I've worked with formula and workflow. Question is what to use for attachment? Do I use the attachment field as array? How do I get the link?
