Attaching a File in New Job

gsumers22texas

looking for guidance on how to do the following:
want to provide a field in the New Job panel for a user to specify a file (before the instantiation) and attach it to the job with the instantiation. The TAG_info code to put it into the New Job form seems straightforward enough, but how to attach it? where would this code exist? in the <template_script> section or in a first <external> tasks in the <workflow> section? CLT iwaddtaskfile seems promising, except for "...to a job already created..." in the description of it in the CLT manual.
Ideally the attached file would be available in the first usertask for the assigned author to "Edit File" in the Workflow UI and thus bypass the Templating navigation requirements (given it's a pre-existing DCR, then Templating would open due to the EAs)
thanks in advance for any help

I'm not exactly sure what it is you're trying to accomplish, but why can't you just use the <files> element in the initial task to add the entered filename to the job? I guess I'm not sure why you need to enter the filename in place of simply selecting the file you want to add to the job prior to kicking off the job. Is it some kind of weird Templating thing? I don't use Templating at all, so it's all weird to me
