How To Validate that a Multimedia Question Captures an Image

Overview

For multimedia questions, not enabling the ‘allow no answer’ property do not ensure that an image will be captured.

You can also modify the validation rule to match other types of validations regarding the amount of attachments captured in a multimedia question, for example you can validate that no more than x amount of attachments are captured -  GetAttachedFiles().length > Vars["AttachmentsAmount"]+2 && !Answered(CurrQues)

 NOTE: We recommend testing the script on an android device or PC Surveyor.

• You cannot capture/add attachments on the emulator.
