Passing files to Rovo Agents in the user prompt

Hey there,

In the context of an Issue, is it possible to upload files as part of the user prompt passed to the Rovo Agent?

As a workaround, you could add an action that reads a particular file attached to the issue, but then you need to adhere to a naming convention, and the whole process is not that user friendly.

It would be nice if you had an “Attach” button in the prompt submission form:

Thanks,

@VladimirNegacevschi,

Right now, a Forge-based agent can navigate from a page or an issue to the related attachments (well, just as well as any Forge app can). So your proposed workaround is valid. I think you could find a way around naming conventions pretty easily. I’m finding a common pattern in my prompting is something like, “Use name to find the attachment. If you don’t have a name in the current context, ask for one.”

That said, I found the idea of “attachments” pretty compelling for common user cases (not just for developers), so I raised ROVO-16. Please watch, vote, and comment.
