Hi,

So are you saying you want to disable the attachment i.e. hide the paper-clip icon based on some condition

Do you want the attachments itself to be hidden for few users or for some conditions

you can use below code in client script to disable the paper-clip icon; but it would show the existing attachments

g_form.disableAttachments();

Mark ✅ Correct if this solves your issue and also mark 👍 Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
Thanks

Does this g_form.disableAttachments() works on the portal as well when used from catalog client script ?

Thanks!

Hi Brook,

1. Please refer Attachment administration

2. You can use enableAttachments()/GlideForm - disableAttachments() method to enable or disable the attachment based on condition via Client Script.
