Validate Attachment using rules nintex forms 2010 & 2013

Hi Michelle,

To achieve this purpose you need to use custom Java Script. Here is the sample

On Nintex Form Designer > Setting > Custom Java Script

function validateAttachments(source, arguments)

{

    var elm = NWF$('.nf-attachmentsTable');

    var calValue = NWF$('#' + calculatedDay).val();  

    var leavetypeValue = NWF$('#' + leavetype).val();  

    arguments.IsValid = true;

    if ((calValue > 3  && leavetypeValue == 'Sick Leave' )  || (leavetypeValue == 'Study Leave') || (leavetypeValue == 'Family Responsibility Leave'))  {

        if (elm.length > 0 && elm.find('tr').length >= 1) {

            arguments.IsValid = true;

        } else {

            arguments.IsValid = false;

        }

    }

}

Then you need to make sure that control calculatedDay and leaveType is configure with the same ClientID that we have defined in the function

In this case we have 2 control involved. CalculatedField and LeaveType

Open the control related.

Go to Advanced section.

Find field 'Store Client ID in JavaScript variable' choose 'Yes'

Fill up Client ID Java Script variable name  that specify in the java script above. In this case calculatedDay (attach to CalculatedDay) and leaveType (attach to control LeaveType)

The last thing is you need to make sure that this validation function are being called by one of the control in Nintex Form. In this case I use Leave Type to bind the validation

Go to control setting of Leave Type choice by double click the control. Open Validation section. On the Custom validation function field specify the value 'validateAttachments'.

Hope it works .

Thanks

Hi Elisabeth Yusnita, I'm trying to apply the same solution to my workflow. I need to make the attachments required when a checkbox is marked with no (not selected). I haven't written javascript before and was wondering if you can check this code.. does the name of the attachments table change from a form to another? or is this standard?!

NWF$('.nf-attachmentsTable')

Appreciate the help
