can any one please correct my script .

For a particular catalog item , attachment should become mandotory , with out attchment request should not be submit , it is should abort subimission with error an message , please provide cilent script and script include which should as per the requirment

I have written onsubmit cilent script and script include

function onSubmit() {

    // Get the current catalog item's sys_id (unique identifier)

    var itemId = g_form.getUniqueValue();

    // Initialize GlideAjax and pass required parameters

    var ga = new GlideAjax("AttachmentChecker");

    ga.addParam("sysparm_name", "checkAttachments"); // Specify the function name in the script include

    ga.addParam("sys_id", itemId);

    // Use synchronous call to block submission until response is received

    ga.getXMLWait();

    var hasAttachments = ga.getAnswer();

    // Validate the response from server-side

    if (hasAttachments !== "true") {

        g_form.addErrorMessage("Please attach a file before submitting.");

        return false; // Prevent submission

    }

    return true; // Allow submission

}

script include

var AttachmentChecker = Class.create();

AttachmentChecker.prototype = {

    initialize: function() {},

    // Function to check if attachments exist for the given sys_id

    checkAttachments: function(sys_id) {

        if (!sys_id) return "false"; // Return false if sys_id is not provided

        var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_attachment');

        gr.addQuery('table_sys_id', sys_id);

        gr.query();

        // Return true if at least one attachment exists, otherwise false

        return gr.hasNext() ? "true" : "false";

    },

    type: 'AttachmentChecker'

};

type: 'AttachmentChecker'
};

while testing , without attachment request is submitting .

check this and create catalog onSubmit script and it will work in both native + portal

function onSubmit() {
    //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
    try {
        if (window == null) {
            // portal
            if (this.document.getElementsByClassName('get-attachment').length == 0) {
                g_form.addErrorMessage("Please attach a file before submitting.");
                return false;
            }
        }
    } catch (ex) {
        // native view
        var length = getSCAttachmentCount();
        if (length == 0) {
            g_form.addErrorMessage("Please attach a file before submitting.");
            return false;
        }
    }
}

@nameisnani 

your script uses getXMLWait() which is synchronous call and it won't work in portal

Use script I shared below and it will work in both native + portal
