How to implement an Alert in Change Request?

Hi,

How to implement an Alert in Standard Change Request only when state changes to "Implement"?

I need to reminder the requestor to add an attachment.  Thank you

Assuming attachments could have been added prior to the state that you are requesting for. 

You just need an alert to remind that an attachment needs to be added in that state or check if there are any attachments on the record and alert again?

Hi @Sujatha V M ,

I need to check an attachment on the "Implement" status, if not, display the Alert.

Here is the code I have tried, but it is failing, because I don't think I can use 'current" in client scripts

var stateStatus = g_form.getValue('state');

    if (stateStatus == '-1') {

        var attachment = new GlideRecord('sys_attachment');

        attachment.addQuery('table_name', 'change_request');

        attachment.addQuery('table_sys_id', current.sys_id);

        attachment.addQuery('type', 'standard');

        attachment.query();

        if (!attachment.next()) {

            alert("Please include attachment");

            return false;

        }

No you shouldn't use "Current" in Client scripts. If you want retrieve a server side value use GlideAjax. 

Note: I would request you go with "Script Include" and avoid using GlideRecord in client scripts.

Can we modify the code to make it works in Client Scripts or I have to use GlideAjax in this case?
