I have rich text field in a form. I can attach a jpg file as attachment into the RT field from Notes client. It shows the attachment in the RT field when open the document in Notes Client. However when I edit the document in browser and save, it shows the attachment at the bottom of the document whatever Notes client and browser and my application function broken.
When the attachments appear at the bottom of the page, they are being stored in an older format - sometimes called ‘V2’, also called pre-V4. That’s the format the web engine uses after converting the rich text to MIME, and the attachment is actually associated with the document, not the rich text field.
In 8.5 the web engine will continue to behave like that, for those who depend on such behavior. However, there is also a new ‘XPage’ renderer that tries to address the needs of those who would like a different rendering - it too converts the rich text to MIME, which for now unfortunately is a process that looses the position of the attachment in the text stream - but it does associate the attachment with the rich text field instead of the document.
Give it a try and let me know what you think of it!
