Workflow Attachments - Test attachment for Security

Currently, if a workflow is designed to accept attachments and use a "Document Generation" workflow action to combine them into a single output, the workflow will FAIL if one of those attachments (typically a PDF) is secure or password protected.


As a workflow developer, it would be great to be able to TEST and CATCH that error and alert the user before they submit the workflow form. Otherwise, the workflow will fail somewhere out in the twilight zone, and they will never know what happened to their submission.


This would apply to any workflows that manage any form of attachment and some logic that will attempt to combine any/all of them into an output.
