Inserting a default attachment in an attachment control

Hi, I have an email template app in which users can go in select a template and send the email out. In the attachment control I want one document to appear as a default for one of the templates.

I want the document to always show up as a default for one of the options because that email will always have that attachment and I would like for the user to not insert that particular attachment every time.

Basically the combo box option changes the default text of a rich text editor which becomes the body of the email. So if for example option 1 is selected I want a pdf file to automatically to come up on the attachment control and the user has option to add further attachments to it.

Is there any way that the "default" property be used to source an attachment?

This is the control> If option 1 is selected I want a pdf file to appear in the attachment control

Hi @mhaisam1 ,

This blog of mine may assist here - you would just have to make the Default of the required checkbox based on the file name being the one you want to send.

ThisItem.Name = YourFileName

Thank you @WarrenBelz, but I am having a hard time with this. The attachments, appears unsaved and once I send the email and return to the email form, the attachments need to be reattached. I'd like them to stay there. I read your blog but it isn't clear to me. I am sending an email with attachments OnSelect of a button to submit a form.
