To add an attachment to a task
To add attachments for a task, a project owner must enable adding attachments for the task. The following users can add or remove task attachments.
*
Task owners can only add attachments to their tasks.
*
Task owners and users with the Delete Attachment security permission for projects can delete task attachments.
Adding attachments to tasks is similar to adding attachments to other objects (such as programs). However, note the following behavior that is specific for adding attachments to tasks.
*
You cannot use markup on task attachments
*
There is no versioning for task attachments: uploading a new version overwrites the existing version of the attachment.
*
It is possible to have multiple task attachments with the same name for the same task. This situation can occur if multiple owners of the task each upload a file with the same name. You can differentiate the files by the user who created the attachment.
*
You can add and remove attachments no matter the state of the task. That is, even if a task is marked complete or skipped, you can still add and remove attachments.
*
The Attachments tab for a project is divided into two sections: one for files that are attached directly to the project, and one for files that are attached to the tasks.
*
If a task owner adds task attachments, and later the project owner sets the Enable Task Attachment flag to false, attachments can no longer be added or removed from the Post Task Update dialog. However, task attachments for the project can still be removed from the Attachments tab.
