Thanks, StefanK. I was actually looking in the “Folder Actions Setup” dictionary and found nothing for “attach”. Was there anything in the “Folder Actions Setup” dictionary that should have prompted me to look in the “System events” dictionary?

set afile to "<some file>"
set afolder to "<some folder>"
tell application "System Events"
	set theaction to attach action to folder afolder using afile
end tell

I’ve never scripted the Folder Actions Setup Utility. All functions are included in System Events
