Make an attachment mandatory using select box choice.

[Roly]

Hi

I'm building a form to do with budgets, so there is a requirement that when an option is selected from a select box it is then mandatory to attached a exemption word docx form to the form before it can be submitted.

So if the user chooses "over £1000" I need a text box to appear underneath and then the attachment option which is on all forms needs to be then mandatory.

I can't seem to work out how to do this?  Would a UI policy do it?

Cheers

the below script should work fine in both native and portal

Ensure the following

• Isolate Script is set to false on this onSubmit catalog client script
• This field is not on form but from list you can set it to false
• This field is by default true

Script Below:

Ensure you use valid variable name and the choice value here for Over £1000

function onSubmit() {
	//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

var value = g_form.getValue('variableName'); // give valid variable name here

// give proper choice value for Over £1000

if(value == 'Over £1000'){

	if(window == null){
		// portal
		if(this.document.getElementsByClassName('get-attachment').length == 0) {
			alert('You must add attachment before submitting this request.');
			return false;
		}
	}
	else{
		// native view
		var length = $j("li.attachment_list_items").find("span").length;
		if(length == 0){
			alert('You must add attachment before submitting this request.');
			return false;
		}
	}
}

}
