Making attachment mandatory on initial record producer request form...

[samuelscott]

I know this question must be pretty common, but I am not being able to get around it. I'm trying to make users attach a document on the initial form for a record producer and I found this on the community: https://community.servicenow.com/community?id=community_question&sys_id=ec764fe1db1cdbc01dcaf3231f96...

I can't make it work (of course, I placed my custom table instead of the one displayed on the code). My custom table is: u_procurement_request_pp

The first script you posted doesnt let me submit the form:

function onSubmit() {
	
	if (parseInt(countAttachments()) < 1) {
		alert("Please attach signed off application form");
		return false;
	}
	
}

I forgot to add the attachment function onSubmit function countAttachments () { return angular.element("#sc_cat_item").scope().attachments.length; }

So, something like this?

function onSubmit() {

function countAttachments () {
return angular.element("#sc_cat_item").scope().attachments.length;
}

if (parseInt(countAttachments()) < 1) {
alert("Please attach signed off application form");
return false;
}

}

Hi there,

Because the title mentions "record producer", I assume you want do this Client Side, thru Catalog Client Scripting for example? Or if you are on Madrid... there's an out-of-the-box checkbox for mandatory attachment!

Have a look at an article I wrote. This mentions the Madrid checkbox + Pre-Madrid scripting.
Service Portal Catalog Items: Hide Attachment / Mandatory Attachment [Madrid]

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.

Kind regards,
Mark
