How to check whether the user has added an attachment while requesting from catalog

[Community Alums]

Hi All,

I have to validate whether user has added an attachment or not before allowing him to submit a request.Please help me if any of you have done a similar kind of implementation.

Regards,

Kirti

Try a client script that will look at the sys_attachment table and see there is a record in that table for your current record

var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_attachment');

gr.addQuery('table_sys_id',g_form.getUniqueValue());

gr.query();

if (gr.next())

         // we have record

else

         // No record - alert user

         // do something else

Using Gliderecord is not preferable clientside So i avoided this approach

You want this on a catalog item or RITM Form.

If its on the FORM then its better to have a business rule on attachment table

When -   After

Condition - (with conditions so that it only runs for you and not other tables)

Insert

Script

1. var gr = new GlideRecord('sc_req_item');  
2. gr.addQuery('sys_id',current.table_sys_id);  
3. gr.query();  
4. if (gr.next())  
5. {
6. gr.work_notes="/* whatever you want to print, attachment name may be*/"
7. gr.update();
   
8. }
