Issue displaying name of document in file upload component

vijay over 7 years ago

Hi All,

I am facing an issue in displaying the name of new version document in file upload component in SAIL. And it was displaying the base version name in file upload component when I pass document Id to value parameter, but the document name is getting updated in Appian repository with versions also.

To elaborate I have a document with 4 versions when I used document function to display the name of the document, the function fetched the name of the latest document i.e version 4. But when I used the same document to pre-populate in a file upload component the component showed the document name which uploaded for the first time i.e. version 1 and the whole scenario was done in Appian 16.2 environment.

Thanks in advance.

You can use getDocumentVersions function available at forum.appian.com/.../summary

Document() function always returns current version document details. For details of each version you can use getDocumentVersions function. It returns - document id, name, description, dateCreated, createdBy, version, size, expiration date

@vijay - For displaying link use url for given version - suite/contents/GetContent.do?id=<documentId>&version=<versionNumber>

VersionNumber - You will get it from GetDocumentVersions

As per my understanding, I believe that the post here is not about getting the document attributes but it's about the behaviour of the SAIL's file upload component where there isn't a possibility of controlling the name of existing document object that will be held by component when we pre-populate the component.

@vijayvenkatam I would suggest you attaching the screen recording (you may want to use Jing) or explain to @sagar with an example which you have seen earlier. Further I remember that, you have deleted the base version when we ran through the scenario (put forward by you in the post) but this isn't covered in your post I guess.

@vijay- When you are maintaining versions of the document it stores the same appian document Id for all the versions.when we use this document id in document() it will give the latest version document name.where as in the file upload component it is showing the first version document name.May be the functionality written in the back-end for file upload component will take like that because the appian document id is same for all versions.
