I need to display name of the file attached in workflow description.
Are there any teamsite variables for the same?
How can I do it?

If you're using WFT this is really simple. I'm not going to tell you how to do it because clearly you haven't read the documentation, but it's pretty easy if you make some effort.

If you're using WFM, not sure how easy it is.

I am using WFM.
Can you provide any help?

Under workflow properties, there is a PostProcessor Command, just define a class to retrieve the attached file name

Just write a bit custom code. Under the class, get attach file and then modify the task BriefDescription.

It is possible. In the html content the file list is stored in a hidden input field with name "workflow.wfm.files". But since the user scripts are placed inside an iframe, you have to do a window.parent.document to access this input field. Below is the code.

var parentDocument = window.parent.document;

function GetElement(tag, attr, val)
{
var elements = parentDocument.getElementsByTagName(tag);
for( i=0; i < elements.length; i++ ){
var nameAtrVal = elements.getAttribute(attr);
if(nameAtrVal != null && nameAtrVal == val){
return elements;
}
}
}
function GetDescription()
{
var filelist = GetElement('input', 'name', 'workflow.wfm.files').value;
return filelist;
}

hmmm...does this get set at the workflow level? Sanoboy's approach might work better here...

Please refer to the WFM documentaion for adding custom code...you will find the concept of Pre and Post processors. These are java classes that implement the interface : com.interwoven.modeler.workflow.commands.InProcessJavaCommand

This contains an excute method of a signature like:
public WFMWorkflow execute(WFMWorkflow workflow, Map params)
{
.....
}

You can use the getFiles() and setDescription(String) methods of WFMWorkflow here...
