Hi, I am trying to create a form where the minimum attachment is based on the amount of rows in a repeating table where a field is equal to true

Hi!

By merging together cool answer from  Marian Hatala‌: attachments custom validation, together with OOB Nintex features, you can achieve it that way:

1. Set name to the "checkbox" field in your repeating section, ex. "EvidenceNeeded"
2. Put the following javascript validation method into the "Custom JavaScript" section of your form's settings:
   

   function GetNumberOfAttachments(attCtrlClassName){
      return NWF.FormFiller.Attachments.GetAttachedFilesCount(NWF.FormFiller.Functions.GetFillerDivObjectForControl(NWF$("#"+NWF$("." + attCtrlClassName + " .nf-attachmentsRow")[0].id)).data('controlid'))
   }‍‍‍‍

3. Set a class name for your attachments field:
   1. Open "properties"
   2. Scroll to "Formatting" group
   3. Add your custom class (you don't need to replace the existing ones) to the "CSS class" attribute, ex.: "AttachedEvidences"
4. Set a validation rule to your "Attachment" field:
   

   GetNumberOfAttachments("AttachedEvidences") != sum(EvidenceNeeded)‍‍

   Where
   1. "AttachedEvidences" is that class name from step no. 3
   2. EvidenceNeeded is the named control (it has to be named control!) that you set in step no. 1
5. Save, run/ preview and you will notice, that your form is properly validated.

Hi Tomasz,

I haven’t had time to implement this solution. My apologies.

Tomasz Poszytek‌, got any solution for responsive forms?

Hi Tomasz Poszytek‌,

I tried your solution on the responsive form and it's not working. It seems there is no validation at all in this control (even with simple validation rule).

Did you find other solution to this issue?

I am curious about whether this solution still works? Both myself and colleague have spent ages trying to get this to work in O365 Classic forms with no success. Following these steps exactly I always get a value of zero returned regardless of how many attachments there are. I need to get this value on the form prior to the first save to properly validate a Save as Draft vs Submit button. I.e. the user should be able to save the form as draft with no attachment but at least one attachment is required to submit.
