Hello,

I want to help from your side.

I am getting the documents from the API and I want to store that document in the footer of the record. (The area in which we can track our record changes.) For better understanding, I am sending you the screen shot of that part.

You can add the comment to the document which you are fetching using doc.add_comment method

Hello,

Yes. But I got the response from the api in terms of image binary code. So, with the use of comment_type=“Attachment”, how can i store my image?

Please help to do this.

Can anyone help me to solve this problem?

Hello There,

For creating an Attachment one needs simply to create a new record for File doctype

The values could be passed as -

File_doc=frappe.new_doc(“File”)
File_doc.file_size=file_size
File_doc.doctype=“Sales”
File_doc.attached_to_name = 'Test'
File_doc.save()

And then the changes will be automatically tracked as the File doctype itself has the track_changes=Enabled.

Another request I had to copy any existing attachment to the new doctype, which could be achieved by

JS part (Could pass in args in a function)-

"attach_files": frm.get_files()

Python part (Copy the file dict and add to a new doc and save -

newfile_doc = []
newfile_mdata = frappe._dict(json.loads(attach_files))
newfile_mdata.update({'file_size': doc.file_size, 'doctype': "File", 'attached_to_name': 'Test', 'attached_to_doctype': 'New Doc Sales for eg'})
newfile_doc.append(frappe.copy_doc(newfile_mdata).as_dict())

Hope this helps, thanks!

Darshan!
