We have a custom application that we can attach doclinks to. We would like to copy all the attachments when we duplicate the record. It doesn't do that "out of the box" so we tried an automation script using the "afterduplicate" automation script. However, we are getting multiples when ran.

from psdi.mbo import MboConstants

orig_doclinks_set = mbo.getMboSet("DOCLINKS")

dup_doclinks_set = dupmbo.getMboSet("DOCLINKS")

orig_doclink = orig_doclinks_set.moveFirst()
while orig_doclink:
    new_doclink = dup_doclinks_set.add()
    
    new_doclink.setValue("DOCTYPE", orig_doclink.getString("DOCTYPE"), MboConstants.NOACCESSCHECK)
    new_doclink.setValue("DESCRIPTION", orig_doclink.getString("DESCRIPTION"), MboConstants.NOACCESSCHECK)
    new_doclink.setValue("URLTYPE", orig_doclink.getString("URLTYPE"), MboConstants.NOACCESSCHECK)
    new_doclink.setValue("URLNAME", orig_doclink.getString("URLNAME"), MboConstants.NOACCESSCHECK)
    new_doclink.setValue("ADDINFO", orig_doclink.getBoolean("ADDINFO"), MboConstants.NOACCESSCHECK)

    orig_doclink = orig_doclinks_set.moveNext()

Here is the result. There should only be the second entry, not sure why we are getting the first, there is only a single attachment in the original record.

Even stranger, deleting the first attachment, deletes them both.

Does anything look incorrect with the script? Or maybe a setting that does the copy when duplicated that I missed?

Attachment from originating WO is shown on duplicate out of the box.

Hi Jason,

Doclinks has 2 parts: DOCINFO and DOCLINKS table.

Get another mboSet with the DOCINFO relationship, and in your loop, add a new docinfo and copy the data, replacing the ownerid and ownertable with your custom object. Then you can create the doclinks as you already are, but update the docinfo fields in the doclink MBO with the docinfo you just created.

Try that and see how it goes. I would also suggest using the Maximo Development Tools (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=sharptree.maximo-script-deploy), which now supports live debug.
