Hi @Are Kaveri ,

You can create Attachment Type Variable and navigate to Type Specification Section and populate

Variable Attribute as allowed_extensions=jpeg or if you want any other extension as well you can do it like this allowed_extensions=jpeg;pdf;pptx

 

And then you can validate it on portal

If u try to attach attachment with other extension it will not get attached and it will give Field error msg below the field

 If you attach the valid extension file

 I hope it will help you

Let me know if you any questions
