    This is true. If you need the actual validation, then do what Teddy H notes above.

    The ShowMandatory property only mark the field on the page with a red asterisk and does not enforce any validation.

    You still need to do dev to force the user to fill it in.

    Go to the Development client and change the attributes on the field:

    2019_2D00_03_2D00_28_5F00_1438_5F00_001.png

    Find the object

    2019_2D00_03_2D00_28_5F00_1438_5F00_001.png

    Identify the field

    2019_2D00_03_2D00_28_5F00_1437.png

    Change the "ShowMandatory" attribute to YES.

    Compile............

    Samer Baskhayroun, if you go to "Sales & Receivable Setup", you can choose to make ext. doc. mandatory or not by checking/unchecking the box.  It is on the first, "General", FastTab, most likely mid-box on the left.  Hope this helps.
