Monitor file storage

[peterberlin]

Hello
I would like to monitor a field of type file with formula.
How can I determine whether a file has been stored or not.
filingfieldname == null
filingfieldID == null
does not work

Hi peterberlin,

You can use the following formula script to check if a file has been uploaded to a field, and output a certain answer in the record description (or do something else, depending on your wishes):

ifThenElse(
    fillingfieldId != null,
    description = 'File is uploaded',
    description = 'File is not uploaded'
);

Many thanks for the quick reply.
But I have to check if no file has been stored.
That's why I tried
fillfieldId == null
to use. But it doesn't seem to work.

peterberlin,

You're welcome.

So, you can simply use the following formula script:

ifThenElse(
   filingfieldId == null,
   description = 'File is not uploaded',
   description = 'File is uploaded'
);

It works correctly, I have checked both the previous variant and this one.
If it doesn't work for you, then there might be a problem with the general syntax of your formula script. You can show it so we can go over the issue together.
