Attachment link - when there is no attachment expect to see it grey like in 7.6 version

With 7.6, our users are used to see the attachment link grey when there is no attachment related to the record.

With MAS9, the attachment link is always blue what ever if there is at least attachment or no attachment at all.
We would like to have the same behavior in Maximo for this attachment link.
When there is no attachment, the link is grey.


See the screenshots provided to show the differences between MAS9 and 7.6

    Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. We truly value our relationship with you and appreciate your willingness to share details about your experience, your recommendations, and ideas.Our team has reviewed this enhancement request and determined that it is a candidate for inclusion in the product. Approach would be to match the disabled styling of Carbon for the button when there are no attachments while keeping the menu button active in order to add attachments.

    If you would like to be involved in other Maximo enhancements, please email smithjor@us.ibm.com to become part of our sponsored user group, which is a program where you and people in your organization become active participants in the Maximo design process, working alongside our design teams to help us create great future experiences for real target users.
