How can use a form's attachment field's id to perform different actions with different attachments?

I have a requirement  to create a request type that allows a user to upload multiple different attachments that will serve different purposes. I use a Jira form that includes two separate attachment fields. While these attachments remain separated in the form, they are grouped together on the issue anyway

 

This in itself is not a problem. However, I need to create automations that will take one of these attachments and send it to somewhere, and send the other attachment somewhere else.

 

The most basic form of it is: Once the form is submitted, I need to create two child issues. One has one of the attachments, and the other has the other.

 

The attachment field on the form allows me to set a field ID for it, like in the attached image. I wanted to use this field IDs to identify which attachment would be sent where.

However, when I try the create action on the automation, it doesn't allow me to use a smart value with the attachment field. How can I use the attachment field's ID then? Can I use the additional field section? If so, How? And if not, does anyone know any work around I can use to identify which attachment needs to be sent where and how to do it?Captura de tela 2026-06-11 221129.png
