You cannot make the attachment variable mandatory.  If attachments is always mandatory there is a checkbox available in Madrid to when creating the item to make attachments mandatory.  If it is based on conditions for other variables you will need to write an onSubmit client script to prevent from submitting without the attachment.

Hi,

You can not make variable mandatory but you can check if attachment is attached or not. If there is not attachment you can pop message for attachent.

Thanks

Hello Amaresh,

function onSubmit() {  

    var cat_id = gel('sysparm_item_guid').value;  //or you can use g_form.getUniqueValue();

// you can make call of script include here. as glide record in not recommended in client script

    var gr = new GlideRecord("sys_attachment");  

    gr.addQuery("table_name", "sc_cart_item");  

    gr.addQuery("table_sys_id", cat_id);  

    gr.query();  

    if (!gr.next()) {  

          if(g_form.getValue('unblock') == true){

      alert("You must attach a screen shot of the website with the ticket before proceeding.");  

    }

          return false;  

    }
