Service Portal - IE11: After successfully pasting an image in an HTML field, no attachment is generated in the respective record.

Since Jakarta (enhancement PRB700710) it is now possible to paste images into HTML fields within the Service Portal. However, this feature does not add any attachment such as "Pasted Image.png" to the respective record.

In any record outside the Service Portal, if an HTML field is present, and an image is pasted into it, an attachment called "Pasted image.png" appears.

 

 

Make sure Service Portal plugin is enabled and make sure you are using Internet Explorer 11

1. Log into any OOTB Jakarta instance
2. go to incident.do from left navigation bar
3. Use Configure Form Layout to add an HTML field called "Test HTML" on the form
4. Use snipping tool to copy a screenshot, then paste it within the newly added HTML field.
5. Save the record

Notice that HTML field content is saved, and along with that an attachment called "Pasted image.png" is added to the record.

6. Go to the following link -

https://<instance>.service-now.com/sp?id=form&table=incident&sys_id=-1

7. Paste the same image in Test HTML field
8. Save the record

Notice no attachment ("Pasted image.png") has been added to the newly created incident.
