Hello - 

I used SP 2016 On-Premises, I would like to validate the attachments field if empty on the submit form. I used a validation rule below, but none of them are working. How can I validate if attachments empty on the submit form in Nintex New form? I’m appreciated for your help.

not(Attachments)

not({Self})

Attachments < 1

isNullOrEmpty(Attachments)

Hi @YV,

Validation for the attachment control is done via the control configuration.

For SP/Nintex 2016 on prem, in a form, what is the rule formula to ensure attachments are added IF a certain field (which is named and inside a panel) is not null.  In other words, If the user enters data into a field (single line of text), Attachments are required.  Otherwise Attachments are not required. 

 

I created a rule on the SUBMIT button to Invalidate with the following formula but it’s not working as desired.

and(not(isNullOrEmpty({namedControl})), isNullOrEmpty({ItemProperty:Attachments})

Hi ​@kpope,

{ItemProperty:Attachments} looks at the SharePoint list attachment column and not the attachment control.
