OF: Add an attachment to existing task?
 
How do you add a file to an existing task?

I know how to create a new task with a new file attachment, but I couldn't find out how to attach it to a specific task.

The task I want do address is always the same (same name, same OF task id).


Thanks for any help.

[CODE] tell front document

set NewTask to make new inbox task with properties {name:file_name}
tell the note of NewTask
make new file attachment with properties {file name:this_item, embedded:pEmbedFile}
end tell

end tell
[/CODE]

You should be able to get a reference to an existing task with something like:

[CODE]set oTask to task id "fGboNvQt1Pr"[/CODE]

and then

[CODE]
tell the note of oTask
...
end tell[/CODE]

Rob,
thank you, your solution works. In my special case I just had to add "of front document".


How can I get a reference to an existing task [B]using its name[/B]?

[CODE]set myTaskName to name of task id "fGboNvQt1Pr" of front document[/CODE]
will get the name of my task correctly.



However, this code
[CODE]set oTask to task id of front document whose name contains "Task name for attachments"
[/CODE] won't give me the task id.
