Adding attachment as a variable in a catalog item

[Mohammad8]

Hi All,

I would like to add a variable to catalog item and I want this variable to have a label and a button/link to select an attachment.

Any help in how to perform this task is highly appreciated.

Thanks RJ for your reply. I actually came across this article but I didn't know how to follow the steps because what I see in the screen is different from what the steps explain, maybe because of difference in versions. I tried to adapt the steps to my case but the macro didn't appear (only its label appeared).

Hi

1. Create UI Macro
 In the "Type Filter Text" search for UI Macro
 Create New:
 Paste the following code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">
<b>Use the paperclip</b>
<a onclick="saveCatAttachment(gel('sysparm_item_guid').value, 'sc_cart_item')">
<img title="Attachments..." height="16" src="images/icons/attachment.gifx" border="0" width="16"/></a>
<b>to attach items to this request.</b>
</j:jelly

2. Add a Variable to your Catalog Item.
3. Type-- UI Macro
4. Choose your newly created macro in step 1.
5. It should show up on your form (see attachment) it is clickable and functions just as the OOB paperclip icon on the top right of forms.
6. If you want change two attributes in the code above
7.Change the icon by uploading an icon or choosing one from the image browser (src="images/icons/attachment.gifx" or src="images/pdf.gifx")
8. Change the size of the icon (height="16" or height="25")

Mark correct if it is helpful.

If this were then made Mandatory, could it be used to 'require' a variable via the Service Portal?  I have yet to find a way that works via an order Guide and maybe this is the solution?
