Hello,

unfortunately you can do it from front end only with an unsupported way and it's need big effort:

First, you create new field (attachementsCounter) to count attachement regarding your record. Then a plugin wish will increment this field by 1 when an attachement is created.

Well, after that you need a JavaScript function. It execute onChange of the new field (attachementCounter). This function will hide the button (unsupported) you need to manupilate the DOM !!

Personnally, i will handle this scenario only in the back-end. I will use the field attachementsCounter. If i reach the limit i will throw an exception...

Mehdi,

Hello Partner,

Hope this post finds you well.

Unfortunately this configuration is not available in UI yet. In order to achieve it, you can register a plugin in pre create operation of annotation.

In plugin logic, take the regarding object id and entity type and query the attachments for it. It will give you the collection, if it is greater than 5 then throw business process error that you cannot add more than 5 attachments.

Make sure your plugin is register on synchronous mode.

Thanks

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Ankit
