Hi,

I have written blog on this.

It should work in both native + portal

Please mark blog as helpful and also bookmark

Verify Mandatory Attachments Count on Catalog Item

Adding here for your reference

For example: You need to ensure there are exact 1 attachment added before submission

Script: onSubmit

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

Isolate Script: Set to False

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 ' + countRequired + ' 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 ' + countRequired + ' attachments before submitting this request.');
			return false;
		}
	}

}

Hi,

yes that is also possible but would require some DOM manipulation
