    Hi, you can use this in validation.

    a!localVariables(
        local!invalidExtensions: difference(upper(fv!files.extension), {"PDF","DOCX"}),
        if(
          length(local!invalidExtensions) > 0, 
          "Attachments must be pdf or word files. Remove: " & 
          index(fv!files, "name", wherecontains(local!invalidExtensions, upper(fv!files.extension)), {}), 
          ""
        )
      )
