mandatory field in DirPartyQuickCreateForm

Posted on by Batuque 270

Hi!

I have to make a field from custTable (a field that was added in customization) to be mandatory when the user wants to create a new customer. This is in the "DirPartyQuickCreateForm" form. This field is already mandatory when we edit a customer, but for a new one it doesnt show up in the form.

Has anybody done this before??

Thanks!!

Jorge

    We can try below in form init event handler.It should work.
     
    [FormEventHandler(formStr(DirPartyQuickCreateForm), FormEventType::Initialized)]
    public static void initializedFormEventHandler(xFormRun _sender, FormEventArgs _e)
    {
            FormRun             formRun = _sender as FormRun;
            FormDataSource      dirPartyEntityDataSource;
            dirPartyEntityDataSource    = formRun.dataSource(formDataSourceStr(DirPartyQuickCreateForm, DirPartyEntity)) as FormDataSource;
            if (dirPartyEntityDataSource.table() == tablenum(CustTable))
            {
                dirPartyEntityDataSource.object(fieldnum(CustTable, #RequiredFieldName)).mandatory(true);
            }
    }

    i configured the field both  as mandatory and visible and still not showing up.

    I had to do besides this, to addthis fields to the table custtable --> field groups ---> quickcreatedetails.

    Thanks very much!

    Your custom field should be available in the list of fields inside the DirPartyEntity data source on DirPartyQuickCreateForm form. DirPartyEntity is actually referring to CustTable on this form.

    You can define field as Mandatory in the field properties on the form data source.  

    So if your field name is XYZ then you can go to \Forms\DirPartyQuickCreateForm\Data Sources\DirPartyEntity\Fields\AXYZ , right click -> Properties -> Make Mandatory as Yes.

    This will make your field mandatory on this form.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,
