I apologize if this questions has been asked and answered but I was unable to find it.

I will like to make certain fields mandatory to fill in forms. e.g. "Customer Type" or "State/Prov" in the Customer card must have a value otherwisethe form errors.

The only way to do this is to put code in the OnModify trigger of the table to check that the fields in question have values. Even then, that solution could have unintended consequences.

The NotBlank property is only used for fields in the primary key, and then only when they are validated through the UI. It shouldn't be used on fields that aren't part of the primary key.

I guess I need a Dev license for that since I don't see the "NotBlank" property anywhere?

Please open the table from object designer and set NotBlank property to Yes of the fields you consider mandatory.
