List permission for user to add attachments
Hi, I created a custom permission level by making a copy of the "Contribute". I left everything as is except for unchecking the "delete items" and "edit items" on the list permissions. Th...
Maybe consider this (hacking together a solution)
Give the user edit rights, when a new item is created, run a workflow to change the content type. Have one content type show the fields the user can enter, have the second content type show only calculated fields displaying the values selected by the user, or maybe just merge the fields into a "multiple lines of text field" that gets regenerated every time the item is edited. In the second content type, set all the fields to "hidden". And turn off "quick edit" on the list.
This would prevent them from changing what they initially entered on the new form, but still having the ability to add attachments and not delete.

Thanks to all for the suggestions.
It will give me something to move forward with.
