Posted on by Stuart Galton

Hi  Forum

Is it possible without Jave code!! to make the Due date a mandatory field within the 'Add Task' dialogue below, this is  different for to the 'Task' entity form used elsewhere in CRM, this is specific to within opportunities within the post/Activities section which  I assume this is out of the box CRM functionality??  I cannot find the form to make the due date mandatory.. please check out the screenshot below.

Any help would be appreciated...

many thanks

    Hi Stuart,

    This is a task entity 'Quick form'. Changes to this form is prohibited. See the screenshot below.

    You can make changes to the task 'main form'  and it will reflect on the quick form as well. Try it.

    Thank you.

    Hi Stuart

    This is one of those little annoyances i have with areas of CRM, This is a Flyout window that has form that you can edit anywhere, As you say it can be done with code but not out of the box. The other option would be to make the field itself a mandatory field but by the looks of it you only want this on one entity

    Hello,

    Try to make attribute scheduledend mandatory.

    If that will not help then there is no supported way to make it mandatory at all.
