Attachments not supported in MRVS

we are stuck in our Project on the UI part. We have created a multi-row variable set so that Employee can enter single or multiple Line Items in it. But for everyone Line Item we also need its attachment to be uploaded with it and ServiceNow MRVS doesn't support Attachment type. So please drop suggestions if any, how can we achieve it

You could try modifying or inactivating the Business Rule named "Restrict types for table variable set" to see if adding an attachment type variable in the MRVS works in your use case - and the attachments can be seen on the ensuing RITM...  A workaround would be to have something like a checkbox in the MRVS for the user to attest that they have attached one file for each MRVS row...

I agree with @Brad Bowman . But remember touching the OOTB business rules is not recommended.

Ensure you capture that business rule in default update set and don't migrate it to next instance

1) Disable the business rule "Restrict types for table variable set"

2) Then create attachment type variable within MRVS and you can make it mandatory at variable config level if you want
3) then activate the business rule again

Output: MRVS shows Attachment type variable
