      if(images.files.length<4){
          alert ("Please Upload minimum 4 images.");
          $("#upload_file").val('');

I want to validate a each cloned forms input file, the validation is –>minimum 4 images should be uploaded otherwise the field returns empty value. But I have got this for fist form. After cloned, the id would be same and this is not working. How to write this for unlimited clone forms?
