how to disable rename link of attachment file on form header

[John91]

Hi,

I need to disable rename link of an attachment file when the incident record is not closed.

Is there any way?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @John91 

ServiceNow provides a system property that affects whether users can rename attachments at all:

1. Navigate to: System Properties > Security

2. Look for the property:

   • glide.attachment.rename.enabled

3. Set it to false

   • This disables the rename option for all users across the platform.

Thanks,
Vignesh

@John91 

you cannot restrict it based on particular state.

you can use onLoad client script + DOM manipulation to handle this

Note: DOM manipulation is not recommended
