HI @chaitanyalal18

Instead of querying attachment table which can be very large, we can simply update the attachment record with the sys_id we have from the variable value.

Let me know your thoughts.

Hi @rohi-v
Thanks for pointing that out. I was considering it from the angle that if an RITM has multiple attachment variables, the same operation could be performed on the filtered attachment records without needing to specify each attachment variable’s sys_id individually. I think I can incorporate the changes you mentioned to handle multiple attachment variables as well. I will update the script and README accordingly.
