To save to a topic or action, the user can enter the attachment name and select an existing topic from the Add to existing topic drop-down list, or create a new topic. If an existing topic is selected, the Action name drop-down list is populated with the actions for that topic. The user can save an attachment to a topic or to an action in the topic.
