Adding attachment to workitems dynamically

[Khanna, Manish]

Hi Mike,

I don't know if it was as simple as that - I passed the BO as an ADHOC
object to the first workitem. And it created a link to the object (which
in turn calls the BO->DISPLAY).

Are there any issues in doing that or I should find a way to attach it
as an attachment. (While searching SWUG I found Jocelyn once mentioned
that to add an attachment we need to have object as type SOFM which
requires some effort).

Regards,
Manish

1. Just define it as a container element of your task and bind it from
your WF.

2. If you do not already have an instance of the object in your WF you
need to insantiate it. Use a task based on SYSTEM.GENERICINSTANTIATE
