Hi Soumen,

No need to create a separate business rule for this.

Just query to sys_attachment table.

Please try below client script.

var sysid = g_form.getUniqueValue();

var attach = new GlideRecord('sys_attachment');

attach.addQuery('table_sys_id',sysid);

attach.query();

if(attach.next()){

alert("form contains attachment");

}

Please mark it as Helpful/Correct according to its impact.

Thanks,

Mihir

Hi Soumen,

You can do this using a scratchpad variable.

create a on display business rule that will setup a scratchpad variable

g_scratchpad.hasAttachments = current.hasAttachments();

Now, use this scratchpad variable in your client script to check whether related record has attachment or not.

if (g_scratchpad.hasAttachments)

// put your code

else

// put your code

when I am using g_scratchpad.hasAttachments in clientscript its displaying 'undefined' so its executing else pert of the code always

have you created the business rule . Update the business rule to before query and then try the client script.

Hi Harsh,

Yes I have written business rule and Update it before write the client script.the g_scratchpad object is available in client script but it doe not find .hasAttachments .So it becomes undefined.

Thanks,
