Client script to make attachment mandatory

[Khalnayak]

Hi,

I am trying to make attachment widget mandatory only if the request type is add access.

So I have created a UI policy, and chose to set mandatory and set visible, the visible bit works but it does not set it mandatory however.

How can i create an onsubmit or onchange client script to make this field mandatory or prevent submission if no attachments.

@Usmaan ,

Catalog Client Script Code:

function onSubmit() { 

var catalogItemID = g_form.getValue('sysparm_item_guid');

var demo = new GlideAjax('CheckAttachmentCatalogItem');

demo.addParam('sysparm_name', 'checkAttachment');

demo.addParam('sysparm_catalog_id', catalogItemID);

demo.getXMLWait();

var attachment=demo.getAnswer();

if(attachment == 'yes'){

        return true;

} else if(attachment == 'no'){

        alert("Please attach Image of your Employee Card");

        return false;

}

}

Script Include Code:

var CheckAttachmentCatalogItem = Class.create();

CheckAttachmentCatalogItem.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

checkAttachment: function(){

var gr = new GlideRecord("sys_attachment");

gr.addQuery('table_name', "sc_cart_item");

gr.addQuery('table_sys_id', this.getParameter('sysparm_catalog_id'));

gr.query();

if (gr.next()) {

         return 'yes';

}

else{

        return 'no';

}

},

    type: 'CheckAttachmentCatalogItem'

});

Please note: Please change class name "CheckAttachmentCatalogItem" accordingly to your script include name. 

Regards,

Abdul

Hi @Abdul i tried your script include and client script but Im getting an error when submitting. the request submits without attachment.

I used the below script provided by @Mark Roethof in another thread and it worked fine!

function onSubmit() {
  
	if (this.document.getElementsByClassName('get-attachment').length == 0) {
		g_form.addErrorMessage(getMessage('attachment_mandatory'));

		return false;
	}	
   
}

Hello,

In this, Where are you selecting your choice value?

Like,

var x = g_form.getValue('your_varaible');

if(x == 'add access'){

// then script here

}

I have similar situation & this solution isn't helping.

However I created a new variable, type attachment which is mandatory & visible only when certain choice is selected.
