How to Include an Attachment in Request Approval

[ID NOBLE]

Hello,

I have a requirement that when an approver approves a request related to a particular item, there should be a MANDATORY attachment (document) included in the approval. Please I need help on how to do this.

Thanks.

Hi @ID NOBLE , 

I have following in this case.

1) Approval table [ sysapproval_approver ] serve the purpose at global level, try to avoid any custom update/configuration.

2) There is attachment option, approver can upload the document, this document will link to attachment table [sys_attachment], user need to open approval record to review this doc after approval.

3) Finally, if custom implementation can not avoid, you can add one checkbox type field [readonly] in approval table and make it mandatory for "particular item" of approving record [ client script ], write a BR [ before , update ] on approver table and check for "particular item" of approving record, if there is an attachment in sys_attachment table then mark the checkbox = checked else abort it.

You can add more, if i missed something here.

-Thanks,

Hi @ID NOBLE ,

U can create a before insert BR on approval table with appropriate condition so that BR triggers only in ur scenario n in the advanced section u can write below script.

var count = getSCAttachmentCount();

if(count > 0){

}else{

g_form.addInfoMessage("please add an attachment before Approving");

current.setAbortAction(true);
