FA - Make Acquisition Cost Mandatory with Dexterity?

Hi,

I'm very new to development with Dexterity and am trying to understand what we can do. I have a requirement to not allow a user to save a fixed asset using the FA_General_Maintenance window unless the Acquisition Cost is non-zero. I figure that the easiest way to do this is to make the Acquisition Cost field mandatory, but when I load the FAM.dic dictionary in Dexterity the metadata for that field is blank.

Are we allowed to customize the FAM.dic dictionary?

Is there any way to make this field mandatory or am I going about this the wrong way?

Is there a Microsoft best practice in validating records before saving? Possibly calling a validate record trigger or something similar?

Thank you for your help!

For anyone interested, I was able to find a solution and hoping it will help someone else. Almas is correct in that we can't customize the FAM.dic dictionary.

In order to make the field mandatory, I used the form modifier inside of GP at Tools > Customize > Modify current window. This allowed me access to the "Required" property for the Acquisition Cost field.

Thanks!

You can not modify FA dictionary.

You can writer dexterity triggers and code to add the functionality you want to do.
