[Portfolio] Matrix Portfolio Template --form attachment permissions

But in our case we'd really like to be able to associate a file directly with a form, not just with the cell.  That way, e.g., a cell could contain multiple forms, each containing information about a particular attached document.

Before solving this bug, there is a workaround. 

If you attach the file to the matrix cell instead of the form, then it can work without logging into the sakai system. But, the assumption is that the file was picked from a folder with "public" property. If the file was deleted from the folder, then user will still need to log in.

I agree, but it is a little different than SAK-7464, since this use doesn't deal with the FCK-editor.
I confirmed the bug and logged it as SAK-16203.

not found a solution to it.  It seems to be a pretty big problem regarding Sakai's database structure and permissions associated with the forms through which the items are being attached.  We've tried every possible solution/workaround to no avail.  We have found that whenever portfolios need to be shown publicly, it is best for us to either embed everything into the editor (text, images, videos, etc.) or use the 'Add Other Evidence' link to upload artifacts straight from the My Workspace Resources.
