In client script restrict user submitting the form without attachment

[harishdasari]

Hello everyone,

Can I know in incident form using client script, how to restrict the user submitting the form without uploading a attachment ?

In business rule, you can use the following:

along with an abort.

So, taking that, you can create a Ajax script include that calls this and returns true or false.   Then, have an onSubmit that uses GlideAjax, and if it returns false, stop the submit.

A quick search for "Mandatory attachment" on the community brings up several hits depending on your scenario. Take your pick.

Create a Business rule, instead.

Name: Don't create incident without attachment

When: Before Insert

Advanced: True

Condition: !current.hasAttachments()

Script:

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

    current.setAbortAction(true);

})(current, previous);
