Hi,
Business Rules only works with Main and Quick create forms.
Thanks
a better way is to set the fields always required and then with your business tules set it optional depending on the conditions.
That is not the purpose of Bulk Edit.
If you need to make a change to some fields for multiple records, or if you add a new field, and you need to assign a value to it across the board, that is when you would use Bulk Edit, but I don't think you would use it as a standard practice of use.
Also, we usually don't allow all users to have Bulk Edit functionality, but that is up to your implementation.
Hope this helps.
Hi Kiean,
you can try this "trick":
1) set as required the attribute you need required when doing bulk edit
2) publish customizations
3) create a javascript which on the onload event set this attribute not required, like
function OnLoad() { Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_myrequiredattribute").setRequiredLevel('none'); }
4) add javascript file to form and call "OnLoad" method on load event
5) javascript doesnt load on bulk edit form, so you will have required attribute on bulk edit form and not-required attribute on normal forms
