I would like to be able to access the attachment tables in the branch versioned editing service so that I can download and delete attachments without having to unregister the data as versioned.</P> Mon, 12 May 2025 13:28:56 GMT AmyRoust 2025-05-12T13:28:56Z https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-ideas/allow-attachments-table-to-be-included-in-branch/idi-p/1613619 <P>Per Esri case 03897472, it is not possible to edit attachment tables via branch versioning.

BTW - You are correct, there is no way to access the attach table directly with attachments in a feature service.&nbsp;</P><P>The Export Attachments tool in the Data Management Tools - Attachments toolbox downloaded all of my attachments to a single folder, or to subfolders (which I did) using values from a selected field in the attribute table. Once downloaded, I selected all of the features in the same active map and used the <A href="https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-pro/data-management/a-pair-of-sample-tools-to-add-or-remove-attachments-by-selection" target="_self">sample tool: Remove Attachments By Selection</A>. This is where I encountered the error that the tool could not update a branch versioned table. I am continuing to investigate this. Stay tuned.</P> Fri, 07 Aug 2026 18:58:36 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-ideas/allow-attachments-table-to-be-included-in-branch/idc-p/1719315#M2653 MikeJensen 2026-08-07T18:58:36Z
