Blueprint - Mandatory file upload field

Blueprint - Mandatory file upload field

Hi,
File upload (as we as image upload) field cannot be set as mandatory during a blueprint transition.
Is there a workaround?
Setting attachments as mandatory doesn't solve this need as we have no control over which attachments are added, nor can we classify them.
Thanks


Info
Moderation Update:

We've shared the possible workaround using Widget in the linked post below, and we're sharing the same for your convenience.

 Please refer to the sample code and the steps shared below:
  1. if (transition.id === "419602000032426558")  // Respective blueprint transition Id
  2. {
  3.     var response = ZDK.Client.openPopup({
  4.         api_name: 'widget_api_name', type: 'widget', header: 'File Upload', animation_type: 4, height: '300px', width: '1000px', top: '0', close_icon: false
  5.     });
  6.     if (response.status === "Cancel") {
  7.         return false; // prevents the blueprint transition
  8.     } // Status returned from the widget
  9. }
  • Create a BluePrint beforeTransition event in the client script.
  • Create a button widget with the necessary file upload field.
  • From the client script  use the openPopup event to open the widget for the respective blueprint transition.
  • Based on a successful file update response from the widget. Use $Client.close() method to return success/failure status from the widget to client script.
  • Based on the widget response, return true/false in the client script to move forward/prevent the transition.



Feature Request - The ability to make the ' File upload/Image Upload field mandatory within the blueprint. We're yet to support this feature and we will keep you posted here for future updates.
