Check Attachments on current form.

ankit025 · ‎08-13-2014

Is there a way to check for attachments in the current form and making attachment mandatory if a field is checked ?

Try the below script,If you are looking for mandatory attachments on catalog item.

function onSubmit() {


var cat_id = gel('sysparm_item_guid').value;


var gr = new GlideRecord("sys_attachment");


gr.addQuery("table_name", "sc_cart_item");


gr.addQuery("table_sys_id", cat_id);


gr.query();


if (!gr.next()) {


alert("You must attach a file to submit.");


return false;


}


}

Would g_form.getParameter("sysparm_item_guid") be a better way to get the guid? Being that gel is getting the value from the DOM, which we know to avoid wherever possible. In this case it might not make a difference?

Hi Pradeep

Can you please help with how to check when something is attached to record and when attachment is removed.

I have a requirement to show alert on Knowledge form when something is attached and when something is removed when I save or update record.

Regards,

Waqas

There is a gliderecord routine hasAttachments():

However, as others have alluded to, there are times when you may need to check the attachments table directly.
