Feature Request: Require Attachment based on Certain Form Conditions



Posted Jan 18, 2023

Hello,

 

We would like to have the option to create a specific form condition for End Users that requires an attachment when a specific field option is selected. I've seen a community post with a coding work around, but we want to avoid this and think it would make more send to have this available as a Condition on a form. Thoughts?

Agreed! I use the workaround but the workaround is quite complicated and if you have many forms that need requirements, it gets messy and confusing in the code as well. I would love to see this supported via the UI, especially given how common a use-case it is for forms.

+1 if we can make this as simple as that then the better.

+1 I have multiple customers who would like to utilise such a feature. Using custom-coded workarounds is tiresome and this should be built-in functionality. 

Use case: There are various reasons why an attachment needs to be mandatory for form submission. I've noted a few below as examples from my customers: 

  • Any type of form which requires you to provide proof of something e.g proof of ID, income, broken item for a return etc
  • Require the customer to upload a purchase order
  • Financial Hardship documentation
  • Cashback or refund claims

+1 - definitely a great feature to have. Having the ability to require an attachment based on a field or form selected would be fantastic.

As Amie mentions above, there are a bunch of use cases where documents are required and needing to write custom code to handle this is frustrating.

+1 we also have this a high value enhancement on our list
