Hello,

I have a sub-grid on a contact form. Sub-grid take its information from contact person role entity. Is there any chance to make this sub-grid as a business required? However, javascript is not allowed.

    Hi Tuomas,

    The sub-grid is equivalent to a view, and only plays the role of displaying records. Unless it is an editable sub-grid, it allows users to enter data.

    So you would like to make fields of editable sub-grid a business required, right?

    If so, just set the fields of the sug-grid entity as business required.

    For example, I set a field of Contact to business required, then this field in the Contact sub-grid also changed to business required.

    if your parent record didn't create, then none of children records can be created as well.

    please reform your business flow to add some checkpoints which will review whether children records are created

    you can using Workflow, Plugin to build the detail check logic

    Unfortunately you can not validate subgrid record in creation form of  parent entity, as you have to create parent record first and then only you can allow create subgrid record within update form.

    So answering your question you could think about to create default child record using plugin or workflow getting information from parent form itself.User also can update necessary information of the child record after creation of parent or you can use field mapping for that.
