@JM_10276355 ,

 

I've written utilities that can both attach and remove attachments from EPMDocuments. The remove does it without iterating the EPMDocument.  So yes, this is doable.

 

How about posting more specifics regarding how EXACTLY you would like this to work?  Is this something a user is doing from the WIndchill UI?  Is it something and admin is doing without the Windchill UI?  What's the use case?

Hi @JM_10276355,

 

The following code snippet can be used to update the content.

ApplicationData appData = ApplicationData.newApplicationData((FormatContentHolder) epmDocument);
appData.setRole(ContentRoleType.SECONDARY);
appData = ContentServerHelper.service.updateContent(epmDocument, appData, "file.txt");
