Common Data Service - Making a field Mandatory

Posted on by

I create a table with field called 'Project ID' (it's a look up).

I made the field Mandatory.  But I was still able to enter data without populating that field.

But when I add the 'required field' to the Main form, then it will not let me add the record.

It's seems that the required field is enforced at the form level but not the table level.

Is that right?

Thanks

    Interesting seems like even the business rules can be circumvented...

    Hi,

    Yes, you are quite right. We can manage server side validation via preValidation plugins.

    I also suggest you to read this blog, it explains the possibility to perform server validation with Business rules:

    Generally, yes. However, you may find some out of the box ones that are truly mandatory.

    You can also override it with JavaScript or Business Rules.
