Attachment mandatory for a Catalog Item

[sam352120]

Hi All,

I want to make attachment mandatory based on a specific field values selected for a catalog item when the user will submit the form.

When the User will select the check box above and try to submit the form then attachment made will be mandatory.

if not checked there will be no message appear and the form will be submitted without any issue.

Thanks,

Sambit

Hi Sam,

An onSubmit() client script as below should help.

function onSubmit() {
	//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
	var checkboxis=g_form.getValue('yourcheckboxvariablename');//PAss correctly
	if(checkboxis=='true') //execute if checkbox is true
	{
		try { //Works for native UI/backend
			var attachments = document.getElementById('header_attachment_list_label');
			if (attachments.style.visibility == 'hidden' || attachments.style.display == 'none' )
				{
				
				alert("Attachment mandatory");
				return false;//abort submission
			}
			
		}
		catch(e) { //Works for Portal
			if ((this.document.getElementsByClassName('get-attachment').length == 1) || (this.document.getElementsByClassName('get-attachment').length == 0)){
				alert('Attachment mandatory.');
				return false;
			}
		}
	}
}

Hi,

var a = g_form.getValue('for_client_own_use');

if(a=='true')
{
var cat_id = g_form.getValue('sysparm_item_guid');
var att = new GlideRecord("sys_attachment");
att.addQuery('table_name', 'sc_cart_item');
att.addQuery('table_sys_id', cat_id);
att.query();
if (!att.hasNext()) {
g_form.addErrorMessage('Please attach an attachment');
return false;
}

}

@sam352120 

please create onSubmit Catalog Client Script

Note: Ensure Isolate Script field is set to false for this client script

1. this field is not on form
2. but from list you can set it to false
3. by default it is true

Give valid variable name for checkbox variable

function onSubmit() {
    //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

if(g_form.getValue('checkboxVariableName') == 'true'){
    if(window == null){
        // portal
        if(this.document.getElementsByClassName('get-attachment').length == 0) {
            alert('You must add attachment before submitting this request.');
            return false;
        }
    }
    else{
        // native view
        var length = $j("li.attachment_list_items").find("span").length;
        if(length == 0){
            alert('You must add attachment before submitting this request.');
            return false;
        }
    }
}

}
