An Affected Instrument field will only appear above the Attach image field if the image only instrument you are preparing is of a type which affects an existing instrument.
For example, a Surrender of Lease will have an Affected Instrument field.

How to add an affected instrument number
Check the instrument number is correct in the Affected instrument field. This will pre-populate if there is only 1 relevant instrument on the title.
If there is more than 1 relevant instrument, select the correct affected instrument number from the drop-down list in the Affected Instrument field.
If there are more than 60 potentially affected instruments enter the correct one manually. The drop-down will not pre-populate in this instance.
If needed, turn the Change due to pending dealing toggle on and manually enter the instrument number from a pending dealing. Press Tab on your keyboard or click anywhere to continue.
If the instrument you enter has the same number as an instrument in another land district, a Duplicate instrument number pop-up will appear. Select the correct instrument from the list, and then Continue.
