Attachment page editability in the Technician Role based Application

I want to retrieve the following information within the Technician Mobile application:
Maximo version: 9.1.356

1. Middle "+" Icon: Currently, if no attachments are added, two "+" icons are visible (one in the header and one in the middle). Once an attachment is added, only the header icon remains. Our requirement is to hide the middle "+" icon even when no attachments have been added. Please let us know how we can implement this change.

2. Multiple Attachment Naming: When a single attachment is added, a slider appears to enter the Name and Description. However, this does not appear when adding multiple attachments. Is it possible to enable the naming feature for multiple attachments?

3. File Renaming: Is it possible to modify a file name after it has been added via the mobile application?

4. Ownership Restrictions: A user should only be able to delete their own attachments. For example, if Technician 1 uploads an attachment to WO9999, Technician 2 should not see the delete icon for that file.

5. External Source Restrictions: Attachments originating from other applications (e.g., those linked from a location or asset) should not display the delete icon, as they cannot be deleted from the current interface. Removing the icon in these cases will prevent user confusion and unnecessary error messages.

    Thank you for submitting this idea. We will investigate each item and let you know the outcome. 1 is likely a defect, and 4 and 5 make good sense. Number 3 is a limitation of doclinks in the Manage DB and is less likely to be addressed; similar to a unique ID in other objects, they cannot be edited once created.
