A work item form can show both Polarion’s built-in Attachments section and the Mediakit gallery. They are two views of one set of files, not two separate stores.

​
Same Files, Two Views

Add a file in either place and it is the same attachment. Delete it in either place and it is gone from both.

​
Whether to Show Both

That is a project decision, and both arrangements are reasonable. Keeping both gives readers the gallery for recognising images and the table for the precise metadata — file size, author and modification date in a scannable column layout. Showing only the gallery makes for a shorter form, at the cost of that table; the same metadata is still available in the gallery’s list view. You control this per work item type when you add the gallery — the gallery and the attachments field are separate entries in the form layout, and either can be left out.

​
One Behaviour to Know About

The Attachments section does not refresh when you use the gallery.Polarion renders that section when the form loads. Upload or delete through the gallery and the gallery updates immediately, while the Attachments table above continues to show the previous set.Nothing has failed — the change is saved. Reload the work item and the two agree.
This is worth knowing before it surprises someone: a user who uploads through the gallery, glances at the Attachments table and sees no new row may reasonably conclude the upload did not work, and upload again.
