Hi @Soudios,

Please try to give only folder path in Save Attachment activity, if you provide path with file name it create new folder and save the attachment inside that.

And to get the file path you can use the output property.
Attachment1_Name = attachments(0).ToString
Attachment2_Name = attachments(1).ToString

You can perform the comparison of version first and if the condition is satisfied then you can use the save attachment activity to save both files.

You can’t pass the attachment name in output property.

Please create and new variable for the output as shown above and with help of that variable get the attachment name.
