 if ( assignmentGroup==='xyz'  && attachmentValue === '' && category === 'abc') {

     g_form.setMandatory('u_file_attachment_1', true);

     g_form.showFieldMsg('u_file_attachment_1', 'Resolution confirmation Evidence is required when resolving an incident', 'error', true);

Hi @komalkp you cannot dotwalk in get Value method. You can make your UI action as both server and client callable and then it should.work

need to use script include?
