Posted on by Chaitanya raj

Hello team,

I was trying to display the enum filed in form as mandatory filed.(red color with * symbol) in D265

here issue is like, ever time when i click new form control is initialized with enum default value, so i was not able to meet my requirement.

I have tried to remove the label for 0th value and made table field as mandatory also, form is showing blank value on the control but it is taking 0 for default value in database

and not throwing the mandatory warning for the control.

How can i achieve this?

Thanks in advance for help

Hi Chaitanya raj,

You can add validation on ValidateField/ValidateWrite method and throw an error instead of trying to make it mandatory.

Hi Chaitanya,

Enum fields will always default with a value.

You will need to write code in validateWrite in form datasource or in table (if it is a table field) to throw an error if any value other than the default value is not selected.

Hi Chaitanya,

I think mandatory check will only work if you don't have "zero" element (EnumValue = 0) at all in enum and enum should be non-extensible (Is Extensible property = False)

I have not added zeroth element in the enum, i have made all my enum values will start from element value - '1'. and made isExtensible - false

After this it is behaving like mandatory field, but in form control is not looking like mandatory(i mean its not displaying as a red colored box).

Anything i am missing here?

Hi Chaitanya,

The red-colored box is not displayed if you have a focus on the control. Could it be the issue in your case?

No Sergei,

I have clicked on new, all other mandatory fields are displaying in red colored boxes but not this enum field.

I have not focus on the control.

Thanks for the response.

Hi Chaitanya,

Quickly tried to test it and here are my results. The enum field is marked as mandatory on the table.

Hi Chaitanya raj,

Remove the 0 element value, or set the 0 element value to None, so that it is applied to the field, and then the form will display blank.

Thanks,
