eAttachment eStatus

What does eStatus on eAttachment mean?

Is it possible to somehow keep the file on eAttachment but at the same time hide the file from showing in the multiclip ? Basically we want to retain copies of "deleted" files for security/audit reasons and then be able to "undelete" them as admins

I noticed that if I set eStatus to any non null value, the attachments disappear from clips...and on setting it back to null, it shows up in the clips - EXACTLY the behavior I'm trying to emulate.

Is it reliable?

ok found out eStatus.

Basically on an action when you upload the document, its temporarily written to the DB with a eStatus of 'T', and if the action is cancelled - all the documents with a status of 'T' are deleted for that folder

So I suppose in theory, I could use this table to hide certain documents by setting eStatus as something non-null, and non-T? Hoping someone from metastorm can confirm this to be a safe assumption
