The attachments keep some unique data which is updated from time to time. We do not want to create a new attachment on update.      The somewhat obvious way of iterating over all test cases, then getting all test steps and building a list of attachmentIDs of their attachments is rather cumbersome and time intensive.   Is there a better way to check if a attachment is linked only one TestCase? We would like to use       associationRetrieveForArtifact(...)         method       , but regardless of parameters we always receive a null result. Would you be able to provide an example of how to use the above method for the described use case ? Thanks in advance.   </description><language>en-US</language><copyright>(C) Copyright 2006-2026 Inflectra Corporation.</copyright><managingEditor>support@inflectra.com</managingEditor><category domain="http://www.dmoz.org">/Computers/Software/Project_Management/</category><category domain="http://www.dmoz.org">/Computers/Software/Quality_Assurance/</category><generator>KronoDesk</generator><a10:contributor><a10:email>support@inflectra.com</a10:email></a10:contributor><a10:id>http://www.inflectra.com/kronodesk/forums/threads</a10:id><ttl>120</ttl><link>/Support/Forum/spirateam/issues-questions/1983.aspx</link><item><guid isPermaLink="false">threadId=1983</guid><author>Axel Heinrich-Finke (axel.heinrich-finke@bundesbank.de)</author><category domain="http://www.inflectra.com/kronodesk/thread/tag">attachment</category><category domain="http://www.inflectra.com/kronodesk/thread/tag"> documents</category><category domain="http://www.inflectra.com/kronodesk/thread/tag"> artifacts</category><title>Subject: How to retrieve multiple linked Attachments</title><description>   We need to check via the SOAP API whether a specific document is linked to more than one test step artifact..

Could you log a help desk ticket and one of our support team can check and/or log an enhancement if it does not exist.
