Attachment to be attached if the user Checks the checkbox

Balaraju K B · ‎09-15-2020

Hi Team,

I have a check box in my catalog item

If the user checks that check box then he must attach an attachment
If the user not checking that check box in this case he can submit the catalog item without attaching.

Please let me know how to get this done?

this onSubmit client script should help

1) Ensure the Isolate Script field is set to false for this client script

2) By default when you create new client script it is true

Note:

Ensure you give valid checkbox variable name and your message for alert/form message

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

	if(g_form.getValue('checkbox_variable').toString() == 'true'){
		if(window == null){
			// portal
			if(this.document.getElementsByClassName('get-attachment').length == 0) {
				g_form.addErrorMessage('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){
				g_form.addErrorMessage('You must add attachment before submitting this request.');
				return false;
			}
		}
	}
}

Can you check if it is working on portal or not?

can you update as below and check for the else part

else{
           // native view
           var attachments = document.getElementById('header_attachment_list_label');
           if (attachments.style.visibility == 'hidden' || attachments.style.display == 'none'){
               g_form.addErrorMessage('You must add attachment before submitting this request.');
               return false;
           }
       }

I used this in a condition when I enter a domain that ends with the word 'com' in a single text input field, then the checkbox should be visible (implemented this using UI policy) and when the checkbox is true then the attachment is mandatory (implemented using the code you gave).

Say for instance if I enter the domain 'example.com' and then the checkbox is visible. If I don't attach something, I get the error as per the code and then I change the domain as 'example.co.uk'. If I submit now, I still get the error.

Please help on how to solve this.
