Attachment Mandatory with message if attachment isnt provided

[HenryD]

Hello, currently i am trying to do a client script that makes my catalog item have to submit a attachment and its mandatory, also want to add a message if they dont add a mandatory for it to submit. i tried using the variable attachment but i need to do it with the user adding the attachment to the paper clip on top of the catalog item. i have been researching tips and tricks but none seem to work for me, if anyone has done this lately or can point me to the righ direction i appreciate it. thank you in advance

Hi,

My apologies for all the back and forth. I was hoping that the above code would work, but apparently not.

I've now tested this myself, because I didn't want to suggest you something else and have it be incorrect (previously, I thought the other code pieces did work).

So this works for me:

function onSubmit() {
    var attachments = document.getElementById('header_attachment_list_label');
    if (attachments.style.visibility == 'hidden' || attachments.style.display == 'none') {
        alert("Please add at least 1 attachment in order to submit request");
        return false;
    }
}

Please mark reply as Helpful/Correct, if applicable. Thanks!
