Using Batch Edit you can not submit attachments

[jace5869]

You can upload screenshots and attachments on a single asset, however when you try and batch edit the attachment gets cleared out. You then have to go individually the submit the attachment.

Hi @jace5869 Ah, yes, that makes sense. We haven't gotten much feedback about the attachments feature, so it's interesting to know it is being used. However, we would likely not enable this feature as part of batch editing, as that would involve duplicating the attachment across potentially thousands of reviews. At the scale many of our deployments operate, this is quite impractical.

Along those lines, we are strongly considering deprecating our current implementation of the "attachments" feature, as there is no standard way to bundle or export these artifacts and associate them with checklists as part of the RMF process (at least at the STIG Evaluation part of the process). The current implementation only allows you to look at attachments for each individual Review when using the STIGMan UI, and will likely not scale at the level many of our deployments are operating. We would likely move to a system that let you add links to your Reviews that point to the place where the attachment/artifact/screenshot is stored on another system, rather than actually storing them in our DB ourselves.
