Form Attachment mandatory depending on field

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by T1ago 74

Hi,

I need to make the file attachment mandatory depending on a dropdown option.

 

I have made this for other fields by using the validators (similar to this https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Apps-Portals/Make-field-required-in-Portal-based-on-value-selected-in-another/td-p/1253064)

However I can't quite do it with the file attachment.

 

Is it possible to make a verification Portal side only?

    Managed to figure it out, using the validators. For anyone that might need it:

    var fileRequired = function(fieldName) {
 try {
 if ($("#" + fieldName) != undefined) {
 $("#" + fieldName).prop('required', true);
 $("#" + fieldName).closest(".control").prev().addClass("required");

 // Create new validator
 var Requiredvalidator = document.createElement('span');
 Requiredvalidator.style.display = "none";
 Requiredvalidator.id = fieldName + "Validator";
 Requiredvalidator.controltovalidate = fieldName;
 
 Requiredvalidator.errormessage = "<a href='#" + fieldName + "'> File is mandatory";

 
 Requiredvalidator.initialvalue = "";
 Requiredvalidator.evaluationfunction = function() {
 var inputFile = $('#AttachFile').val();
 if (inputFile == "") {
 return false;
 } else {
 return true;
 }
 };

 // Add the new validator to the page validators array:
 Page_Validators.push(Requiredvalidator);
 }
 } catch (error) {
 errorHandler(error);
 }
 }

 var fileNotRequired = function(fieldName) {
 try {
 if ($("#" + fieldName) != undefined) {
 $("#" + fieldName).closest(".control").prev().removeClass("required");
 $("#" + fieldName).prop('required', false);

 for (i = 0; i < Page_Validators.length; i++) {
 if (Page_Validators[i].id == fieldName + "Validator") {
 Page_Validators.splice(i);
 }
 }
 }
 } catch (error) {
 errorHandler(error);
 }
 }

     

    And then use when needed (fieldName is <input> ID of the file upload):

    fileNotRequired("AttachFile");

    fileRequired("AttachFile");
