JavaScript field required

Posted on by 155

I am updating some old code from xrm page to form context, and in the javascript I keep finding statements to set a field to required.

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_myfield").setRequiredLevel("required");

formContext.getAttribute("new_myfield ").setRequiredLevel("required");

Is there any reason it is better to set fields to required in JavaScript and not to set the field to required in the solution?

    Hi,

    It depends on your Business requirement.

    If requirement is that this field should always be mandatory then do it at solution.

    If requirement is to make it mandatory only when certain conditions are met then use javascript

    Hello,

    If the field has to be set as permanently required - set it on the solution level.

    But if the required level is conditional (let's say based on the value in another field or state of the form) - JavaScript or Business Rules is the way to go.
