Is the File/Attachment field "immune" to rules?

[Jane Smith]

Is it possible to create a rule for:

1) Hide and Show the "File/Attachment" based on conditions? I followed this guide for another field and it worked, but doesn't seem to work for hiding the "Choose Files" buttons.

2) Similarly, I followed another guide to make the field required when it shows, but when I upload the attachment, I continue to get the error despite the condition being fulfilled.

How should I approach this?

Hi @Jane Smith 

Hide/Show rules work for File/Attachment field absolutely the same way as with other field types

Same with the conditionally applied validations

Thanks @Alex Medved _ConfiForms_ - I found the issue on my end... I had the incorrect field name. The name was "emailAttachment" but I had "attachmentEmail". SMH. Watching your video helped me to double check since I was following those steps. Thanks again!
