Regarding issue where attachments don't work due to error message :
BMXAA4195E - A value is required for the Document Folder on the DOCLINKS object
This issue is the Attach File dialog on the out of the box dialog is missing the doclinks folder field - this dialog doesn't seem to be part of the CREATESR app designer dialog options. So what to do ?
To resolve this case, you may need to make sure that the APPDOCTYPE table has the information about the CREATESR application, as per the same resolution procedure you can find on the fillowing document.

Usually, we don't provide or build INSERT statements, but as this document contains some samples, the for SQL Server and to be safe on
sequence and id, please try in steps below, in a TEST environment first. Consider that MYCREATESR is the name I gave to my cloned app from original CREATESR app.
1. Run query below and keep the number. (ie. XXX)
select max(appdoctypeid)+1 from appdoctype;
2. Insert a data with query below
insert into appdoctype (app,doctype,appdoctypeid)
values ('MYCREATESR','WO_F15',XXX);
3. Run query below and keep the number (ie. YYY)
select max(maxreserved)+1 from maxsequence
where tbname ='APPDOCTYPE' and name='APPDOCTYPEID';
4.Update sequence number
update maxsequence set maxreserved = YYY
where tbname ='APPDOCTYPE' and name='APPDOCTYPEID';
5. Log in to maximo > go to MYCREATESR > select action > associate folders > check if the newly created folder is listed and test attachments.
