Enhancement

Please provide the ability to allow a certain group to add or remove attachments.

A typical Use-Case:
In a quality process, certain technical users (Members of SharePoint-Security-Group XY) are allowed to add attachments in the NewForm and the EditForm of a SPFx Forms Customizer. They are not allowed to delete attachments in the EditForm.

Certain clerks (Members of SharePoint-Security-Group AB) are allowed to add and remove attachments.

You could extend IListItemAttachmentsProps.ts with two new props
groupNameAdd?: string;
groupNameDelete?: string;

And also extend IListItemAttachmentsState.ts with these properties.
Then in ListItemAttachments.tsx you could assign the props to state and implement a function to determine if the current user is a member of the given groups and set the state of these two properties.
The render function could then evaluate the state to activate/deactivate the delete- and/or the add-Icon

It would also be helpful to have public properties to identify if the user added or removed attachments in a EditForm.
This would help to run business logic right from the form or in a Nintex Automation Cloud Workflow.

Thanks!

Start with IListItemAttachmentsProps.ts, IListItemAttachmentsState.ts, and ListItemAttachments.tsx. Review how props and state currently control attachment actions, then determine how group membership and public attachment-change properties should fit the existing control. Done means the requested add/delete permissions and edit-form change indicators are supported and covered by the project’s relevant tests.
