Make a field mandatory in journals

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by CapsLock 1,419
Hi, 
 
I'm trying to use this functionality to make a field mandatory: 
 
It works only as far as I don't close the journal. If I exit it, and re-open, the obligatoriety is gone. I would like to be able to make it mandatory and apply always to the journal name that I made it mandatory in. Is that possible? 
I have the same question (0)

    Hi Patricia,
     
    When you changed the property for the field, you can use Saved views to save the personalization for the next time. The new view can be set as default when opening the form. 
    You can read more about some caveats related to this 'Required' feature on my blog: How mandatory is required? - Dynamicspedia

    As Andre suggested you need to save and pin the view. The technical way is to use validatewrite method of the table or validate method of form datasource based on the requirement.

    Hi,
    As Andre mentioned, you can check out this documentation about saved views（Saved views - Finance & Operations | Dynamics 365 | Microsoft Learn）. Views are not automatically saved when the user personalizes the page, or when the user applies filters to or sorts the list. Explicit action is required to save these changes to the view.
    Best Regards,
    Hana
