how can I make the attachments field mandatory in SharePoint online list?

Dear Experts, 

 

I want to make the attachment field Mandatory/Required in my List. How can do that? I do not have the powerapps option. So I need to make that possible from SharePoint itself

  • Not possible unless you use classic SharePoint, or PowerApps. If it's a single attachment, you can use a SharePoint Document Library instead of a list, which each item is a document, which basically means it requires a document to start.

    This is now also possible when using Forms in a SharePoint list. If you collect your input via a form, you can mark attachments as required. (https://www.sharepointdiary.com/2024/05/how-to-create-a-form-in-sharepoint-list.html)

      So if i'm using classic sharepoint then how do i make the attachment required based on a specific selection within a particular column?

        Hi aforonwak27,

         

        See this article https://www.sharepointdiary.com/2015/11/how-to-make-attachments-mandatory-in-sharepoint-list.html

        It worked for me.
