Mandatory field hidden on BPF not validated as required

Hello everybody!

I have a Yes/No option set added in a BPF stage as required. It is hidden by a business rule set at entity level (Field is filled in with value selected from an option set. Condition is when a certain value is selected, then be able to move to next stage).
Being hidden, the BPF prevents validation on the field, although is required.

Any solutions?

Thanks!

Can you display the field but make it read-only for the users?

Hi, a yes/no field will always have a default value as either true or false. It will never be null. Hence the business required condition is always met. Possible solution is to replace yes/no with option set field.

Hope it helps

Actually my requirement is to let user move to next stage (manually select next stage) only if field A = value 1 (from option set).

I made another field (yes/no) set by a BR on yes only when all condition are met and hide it (it shouldn't be on the BPF). Being hidden prevents BPF from validating it on yes when moving to next stage and this is my main problem.

Thanks!

Hi Alina Mihaela,

It seems that you create another field(yes/no) to check whether field A equals value 1 or not, correct? If so, there is no need to do this. You could create a workflow to move to next stage when field A = value 1 in the BPF, please refer to this blog:

BTW, when you hide the field, the BPF would not validate it.
