Hi Thomas,

It's important to know what the Attachment property is, and what its intented use-case is.

This property holds a link to an existing file and that file is then presented on the Order screen in the Administration as a download link. The use case for the property is to link an order with a file that is provided from an external source -- like uploaded by the user or generated by a web service, or even something different from that. The property does not contain binary data, but only a link (relative or absolute) to the resource.

As you can see, the intended usage of the property is in custom code, and therefore, it's not available as a changable parameter in the frontend. You could fill the property using a Razor template or some other custom code like a Template Extender, but it does require code.

Hi Jeppe,

Thanks fore your reply.

The user must be able to upload a file to each orderline during checkout. This can be done with custom code, but i would like to know if there is som standard functionality to support this?
