appending attachments to attachment fields \ saving multiple versions of attachments
i have a specs form that may have several versions. each version must have a non editable copy of the previous versions attachments along with a field where the user can insert a new attachment.
this form is sent to an approver, and if rejected, the user adds a second attachment. previous attachments remain for document history and auditng purposes.
i was thinking of having this arrangement :
AttachmentField ApproversRejectionComments
AttachmentField2 ApproversRejectionComments 2
the AF2 field would be hidden if Status = approved | if AF3 != "" etc.
how is this process generally handled? is data copied from one rich text field to another computed rich text field? put into controlled access?

This seems reasonable.
How do I create the doc link to the previous version?

I would suggest simply using a Doc link to the previous version.
This makes it easy to append more as needed, with little problems of size, and you can do it all in one RTF field, by simply appending the new doc link as needed.
I hope this helps !
