Is there a way to deny being able to check a box complete until an attachment is added.
Thanks in advance
Hi Dustin,
I have a few ideas!
Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)

Another option could be to use a third-party service like Zapier or similar to check a box when an attachment is added and if it's not checked when trying to complete it would show an error or/and send a message to you.
Would that work/be an option?
How would you like to use it?
