Make GP field Required

  • Make GP field Required

    Posted by Abdel Ali on December 6, 2024 at 2:59 pm

    I am attempting to make the Account (GL) field on the Requisition Transaction Entry Window a required field. Using Modifier I changed Required to True for that field, the labelled changed to look like other required fields but it can still be saved with no data populated on the field. I also set the alternative modified window active. Any idea on what i am missing?

    Hi Abdel

    You are doing nothing wrong. Sadly, I have checked the source code and the original developer has not added a check for the required() function in the Scrolling window change script that does the saving.

    So while you have correctly made the field required, there is nothing in the code to enforce the required fields.

    You can use GP Power Tools Developer Tools to add a check for required fields and abort the save with the appropriate error message.

    [Edit] I have passed the details of this bug back to Microsoft.

    Kind regards

    David
