Make attachment mandatory on both native UI and Service portal for a catalog item.

[Balaram7]

Hi all,

We created a new catalog item " Application Access", which contains Request type as a variable(Select box) with three choices. 

Request type

-> -none-

-> Add

-> Modify

-> Remove

If Request type is Add or Modify, then need to make Attachment mandatory & if Request type is Remove then Attachment is not required.

Please help me with the best approach to achieve this.

Thank you,

Balaram.

Hi Balaram, 

You can have onsubmit client script to achieve this.
Please refer below code for you reference.

You catalog client script can be : 

Type : onSubmit
Name : your choice
UI type : ALL
Isolate Script : false

script :

function onSubmit() {

//Checking Attachment
try { //Works in non-portal ui

var attachments = document.getElementById('header_attachment_list_label');

if (attachments.style.visibility == 'hidden' || attachments.style.display == 'none') {
if (g_form.getValue('<request type backend value') == 'add' || g_form.getValue('<request type backend value') == 'modify') {

alert('Please attach document.');

return false;
} 
}

}

catch (e) {

if ((this.document.getElementsByClassName('get-attachment').length == 0)) {

if (g_form.getValue('<request type backend value') == 'add' || g_form.getValue('<request type backend value') == 'modify') {

{

alert('Please attach document');

return false;
}

}
}

}

Please check and confirm.

@Balaram

If it helps please mark blog as helpful and also bookmark it

Adding script for help from same blog of mine

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(g_form.getValue('request_type') == 'Add' || g_form.getValue('request_type') == 'Modiy'){

		if(window == null){
			// portal
			if(this.document.getElementsByClassName('get-attachment').length != countRequired) {
				alert('You must add 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 attachments before submitting this request.');
				return false;
			}
		}
	}
}

Isolate Script: Set to False
