Hi Suresh,

I'm not able to see your picture, could you re-post it please?

Regarding your question, you have multiple possibility to set a field as mandatory.

Directly on the form control by setting the property Mandatory to Yes

On the table, you also have a mandatory property at field level

By code, in the validateWrite method of the table, or anywhere in the code where you work with records ;

Not sure, but the table index fields can also trigger this kind of error message

Regards

FX

Hi Suresh,

What you can do is to find the label of that text in the label editor and then find it in classes.

Hint: Probably the text to search will be like "Field '%1' must be filled".

Best regards

This is invoking from 'Classes\Info\add'

If you place break point in 'Classes\Info\add' , you may find.

The message is coming from the AX kernel, so you will not be able to see where exactly it is coming from.

The sequence is the following for this event:

- Check field properties for Mandatory flag, kernel raises error if it is not populated on save

- Check formdatasource field-level methods, raise either X++ or kernel error

- Check validate and validateField methods for custom validation, AX X++ raises error based on custom rules

When the error is raised, the kernel will call Info.add() as mentioned above, so you could trap if it is coming straight from our code. If not, then it is coming from kernel due to field properties set.
