  There are no easy way to set an attachment field as required.
  The possible solution is to add custom action to the Save button.

   

  1. Add additional action to your Save button ('Check for attachments').
  It should be 'Show message' action type.

  

  2. Add the following Condition value to the action:
  Code:

  =!jQuery('#idAttachmentsTable').is(':visible')
  

   

  3. Add validation message text, delay and set 'Status Color' to 'Error'.
  4. Add the following Condition value to the 'Save Form' action:

  Code:

  =jQuery('#idAttachmentsTable').is(':visible')
  

   

  5.Add the following Condition value to the 'Redirection' action:

  Code:

  =jQuery('#idAttachmentsTable').is(':visible')
  

   

   

  This solution doesn't work for the ribbon Save button. In this case it would be better to hide ribbon or at least one button. Please see related forum post Hide default edit tab - Would like the web part contents to hide the default edit tab and utilize only the rich forms tools for more information.

  I am currently working with version 2.7.1.0 and I have not been able to get the described solution working with the save button in the ribbon, only on a form button.

  Hi.
  We cannot reproduce you issue.
  If it is not critical try to reset form to defaults and try once more.

  Is there a way to get this to have an attachment conditional required??

   

  if [FieldA]="x" then attachment=required else attachment!=required
  if [FieldA]="x" OR [FieldB]="y" then attachment=required else attachment!=required
  if [FieldA]="x" AND [FieldB]="y" then attachment=required else attachment!=required

  To achieve your goal you just need modify Condition:

  • Open expression builder for Condition field (fx button near Condition build)
  • Set expression type to "Function code" (dropdown on the top of dialog)
  • Insert next code

            Code

  • if(<YouCondition>){
       return !jQuery('#idAttachmentsTable').is(':visible');
    } else {
      return false;
    }

  • Replace <YouCondition> by your condition e.g:
    
    • [[FieldA]] == "x"
    • [[FieldA]] == "x" || [[FieldB]] == "y"    (|| means OR)
    • [[FieldA]] == "x" && [[FieldB]] == "y"  (&& means AND)
  • Repeat previous steps for "Save Form" and "Redirection" actions, but with the next code

           Code

  if(<YourCondition>){
     return jQuery('#idAttachmentsTable').is(':visible');
  } else {
    return true;
  }
