Additional Information

Adding a new row to an attachment table does honor default settings for user-created columns in the attachment table. However, row inserts for attachments do not update default values in user-created columns by design. This is also true when working with attribute rules and Arcade, which can read related record values but cannot write directly to a related table such as the attachment table. This is the current design.

Workaround

Python scripting can be used to add an attachment and then update a user-created column in the attachment table with a specific value.
