Include incident reference on submitted attachments

Jonathan TaylorFeb 4 2021

Hello,
When the interview is submitted, an Incident is created in RightNow, and a form document (RTF) is generated, and attached to the incident as a file.
We would like to show the incident reference (e.g. 210204-000001) on the attachment. Which seems to me to be quite a reasonable, simple requirement.
So I:-
* Created a "referenceNumber" attribute, and mapped it IN to Incident- "load after submit". (which is reasonable, since this isn't known until the incident is created).
* Referred to this item in my form document .
However - the attribute always shows in the document as "Unknown".
NOTE: We had a bug where 2 incidents were created - and it DID show the "first" (but wrong) incident reference - so there is nothing wrong with the BI Publisher fields in the form document.
I suspect what is happening is:-

  1. The RTF is generated (mailmerged) against the OPA attributes. At this point referenceNumber is null, since the incident hasn't been created.
  2. The incident is created - but the referenceNumber generated is "lost" to the form document in (1)
  3. The document is attached to the incident.

I've searched, and I can't find a solution to this. In effect, I want to swap steps (1) and (2) around.
Is there a solution to this, or do I have to come up with my own reference number, populated before submitting the interview?
Thanks.
