Make attachment mandatory for a particular view?

[Kiran Kumar 76]

we have multiple views created on a table

we need to make attachment mandatory in a particular view only and do not impact other,i know we can use view in client script ,i want to avoid using getxmlwait or gliderecord in client side

Any best practice to make attachment mandatory on a new record on submitting?

Hi @Kiran Kumar 76,

Write a on submit client script

 if (g_form.getViewName() === 'YourViewName') {
        var attachments = document.getElementById('header_attachment_list_label');
		if (attachments.style.visibility == 'hidden' || attachments.style.display == 'none' ) {
			alert('Please attach attachment.');
			return false;
		}
    }

Tested in PDI.

Hi @Community Alums

@Kiran Kumar 76 , I just tried in workspace...not sure why it's not working. But I used onsubmit client script & glideajax as an alternative & it's working in workspace (I tested on Service Operation Workspace). Please try the below

Script Include:

var aa = Class.create();
aa.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

    hh: function() {
        var gr = new GlideRecord("sys_attachment");
        gr.addEncodedQuery("table_name=incident^table_sys_id="+this.getParameter('sysparm_id'));
        gr.query();
        if (gr.next()) {
            return true;
        } else {
            return false;
        }

    },

    type: 'aa'
});

On submit client script:

function onSubmit() {
  if (g_form.getViewName() === 'YourViewName'){
    var ga = new GlideAjax('aa');
    ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'hh');
	ga.addParam('sysparm_id',g_form.getValue('sys_id'));
    ga.getXMLAnswer(HelloWorldParse);
    return false;
  }
}

function HelloWorldParse(response) {
    // Handle the response
    alert(response);

    if (response === "false") {
       alert("Attach Attachment");
        return false;
    } else {
        
        return true;
    }
}
