Cause

External events which cannot be added with attachments are SF-182/External Request forms verified by the admim. As per design admins cannot add attachments to the SF-182/External Request form.

Resolution

Kindly note SF-182/External Request forms and normal External event recorded via Record Learning Multiple tool, both will be considered as External events as per the Learning Event Editor tool.

SF-182/External Request form is a government reporting form and as per the design LMS won't allow admins to add any attachments to the form.

Admins can add attachments to the normal External events which are recorded by admins using record learning multiple tool as shown below.

Note : No attachment can be added in User's External Requests tab. An admin can only edit External request form via User's External Requests tab .
