Hi Everyone,
Could you please suggest how to make Retail category field mandatory in ax 2012?
*This post is locked for comments
The name of that form is EcoResProductCreate.
That Retail category field is not bound directly to a database field, but is instead a standalone control.
Probably the easiest way to make it mandatory is add the following line to the element.setCategoryDropdownVisible() method.
private void setCategoryDropdownVisible() { if (isConfigurationkeyEnabled(configurationKeyNum(Retail)) && EcoResCategoryHierarchyRole::existRole(EcoResCategoryNamedHierarchyRole::Retail)) { categoryReferenceGroup.enabled(true); categoryReferenceGroup.visible(true); categoryReferenceGroup.mandatory(true); // add this line } else { categoryReferenceGroup.enabled(false); categoryReferenceGroup.visible(false); } }
Sometimes all this manages to do it put a red line under the field but does not enforce it. If that happens, add some code to the element.validateWrite() method to check if the field is empty.
Now i can see red line under the field. But its simply allowing with empty field.
I am not technically strong. If you dont mind, please suggest what needs to be written in element.validateWrite().
I don't have Retail turn on in my current environment, so this is just a guess. I've added code at lines 17 thru 20 in the snippet below.
public boolean validateWrite() { boolean ret = true; if (companyIdInit != curext()) { ret = checkFailed(strFmt("@SYS4002764", tableStr(EcoResProduct))); } ret = identification_ProductNumber.validate() && ret; if (releaseProductToCompany) { ret = itemIdentification_ItemId.validate() && ret; } if (!EcoResCategory.RecId) // add these lines { ret = checkFailed(strFmt("Retail category must be specified")); } ret = ret && ecoResProduct.validateWrite(); if (ecoResProduct.isProductMaster()) { ret = productDimensionGroup.validate() && EcoResProductDimensionGroupProduct::checkDimensionGroupValidForProduct( ecoResProduct, productDimensionGroup.value()) && ret; }
Thanks Brandon Wiese. Its working perfectly.
