*ADD A SERVER FILE FOR THE SIMULATION*
======================================

Attaches a server-side file from one simulation to another simulation record on the platform. Use this worker when you need to reuse or copy an existing simulation attachment into a target simulation without re-uploading the file.

     - ID of the target simulation that will receive the attached file; leave blank if the simulation ID is resolved automatically upstream in the workflow.
   * - Parent Simulation ID

     - 
     - ID of the source (parent) simulation from which the file attachment will be copied; selected via remote lookup of available simulations.
   * - Att ID
     - attachment_id
     - remote_lookup
     - —
     - 
     - ID of the specific file attachment to copy from the parent simulation; populated via remote lookup of files belonging to the selected parent simulation (depends on from_simulation_id).
