OnClick of Attachement Button

[Markell]

Hi Guys

The basics of what i am trying to do i simply show a custom Message when a user clicks on the Attachment paperclip icon.

I'm guessing this would be done via a UI Action, but I don't know how to access or call the Attachment button. 

I've tried using Google developer view to find out but no luck.

Has anyone done this before or even just know what the 'value' of that Icon is?

If you know where I can access the original onClick script for the attachment Icon (there must be one to fire the attach file feature) that would be helpful also 🙂

Thanks in Advance

Hi Markell,

I don't think this would work. You can call attachment dialog box using ui action code. but clicking on paper clip icon showing message would be difficult.

have client side ui action and in onclick add this

saveAttachment(g_form.getTableName(), g_form.getUniqueValue());

Mark Correct if this solves your issue and also mark Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.

Hi Ankur no luck just yet but thanks.

I guess onclick may not work maybe 'OnChange'. Its a annoying I cant just get that button value lol

Hi Markell,

you want attachment dialog to open when UI action is clicked?

Yes this is what I am trying to do.

When the Attachment Icon 'Paper clip'  is clicked I would like to have an alert or 'dialog' show either before the usual attachments dialog, or edit the attachment dialog somehow:

What would work for me is the ability to put a sentence before the 'Choose file'  button. 

But still, I would need to have the onClick Script so I could run some script to decide when to show the new sentence.

Hope I am making sense lol
