In a community (napili) there is a button (global action on case) that allow users to create a new case and add an attachment to this case.

When I do that, it creates me a case, and an attachment to this case. But in the developper console, if I try to access this attachment with a query like this in the query editor, it found nothing :

SELECT Id, ContentDocument.title, ContentDocument.ContentModifiedDate, 
                                    ContentDocument.FileExtension, ContentDocument.ContentSize, 
                                    ContentDocument.FileType, ContentDocument.LatestPublishedVersionId
                                    FROM ContentDocumentLink WHERE LinkedEntityId ='5009E000007fay3QAA'

Also, if I add an attachment to a created case, via a lightning component with the tag lightning:fileUpload, when I try the query it works and retrieve the attachment.

Here is the attachment's list of a case, we can see that even if both are pdf, they are not display the same way : enter image description here

Moreover, when I click the attachment in the attachment's list of a case, when it is the case added with the community it did not display the file, it only download it. Conversely when I click the attachment create by the lightning component, it display it like this : enter image description here

I need to get the attachments list of a case when the case is created, but as I said the query retrieve nothing when the attachment is added at the creation of the case.

If thats an Attachment then your query will be

Select id,Name from Attachment where ParentID='5009E000007fay3QAA'

FileUpload doesnt create ContentDocument or ContentDocumentLink so you can just querry Attachment and get your job going.

  • I just try your query, and with it I can only get the attachment added with the community. It does not retrieve the file (or attachment ?) added with the lightning component via the tag lightning:fileUpload

  • Wouldn't it be better to use file instead of attachment ? It seems that when using the tag lightning:fileUpload it upload files, and when using the default uploading via the community it upload attachments...
