Description

User is uploading documents attachments in transaction VA02 via Winshuttle Script in Studio v.12.0.1, WFM v.11.4.1, SAP GUI 750 (patch 4). The script is running without errors and the attachments are visible directly in SAP. However, when the user tries to open the attachment in VA02, they receive an error "Attachment list No authorization for this action". Manually the user is able to attach the documents, access them and delete them. The issue is only related to attachments that were uploaded via Winshuttle script.
