I have to make the work notes mandatory a new attachment is added on the incident form in the instance. As of now, the attachment gets automatically save on to the save just by clicking on the paperclip icon and adding the attachment through it. We don't need to click save/update while doing so.
In this scenario, now I need to make work notes mandatory whenever an attachment is added. How do I track it?

It needs to be done on native, incident/case form.

If it is on Native View:
1. Use Client Script (onSubmit): This ensures that users cannot save/update the record unless Work Notes are filled when attachments exist.
If it is Service Portal view:
1. Customize the form Widgets or Use spAttachment events
