Editable Attachment

[Mike Pokraka]

Hi Chris,
You can restrict Florin's great suggestion by using a non-delegated subtye
specific to your workflow.
Another thought: What version are you on? On ECC, this is exactly the type
of scenario that Adobe document services is suited for. Your form is a PDF
with editable fields, and those fields can later be read as data. Will be
more work to set up for the first time but may bw worth looking into.
Cheers,
Mike
