HI @dheeru_1994 please try to second approach

Script: onSubmit

Note: Ensure Isolate Script field is set to False for this Catalog Client Script to ensure DOM manipulation works

function onSubmit() {
	//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

var countRequired = 1;
	if(window == null){
		// portal
		if(this.document.getElementsByClassName('get-attachment').length != countRequired) {
			alert('You must add 1 attachments before submitting this request.');
			return false;
		}
	}
	else{
		// native view
         var length = $j("li.attachment_list_items").find("span").length;
		if(length != countRequired){
			alert('You must add 1 attachments before submitting this request.');
			return false;
		}
	}
}

Please mark reply as Helpful/Correct, if applicable. Thanks!

@dheeru_1994 did you get the solution of this? I also have similar requirement and don't see any option.

You can use out of box "Mandatory Attachment" checkbox under Portal Settings tab of Catalog Items.

You don't need to write code for this.

Is there any way of doing it without DOM manipulation and with GlideAjax
