How to customize field in crm(Make field mandatory)

[sugarcane]

Hello sadique,

to make a custom field required, go into studio, click into the module --> fields, and click on the custom field. A new window will appear when you can check off the 'Required Field' checkbox. click save.

For out of the box fields, you cannot do the above. You have to set them to required in the code:

custom/Extension/modules/[MODULE NAME]/Ext/Vardefs/[FILENAME].php

 $dictionary['MODULE NAME']['fields']['FIELDNAME']['required'] = true; 
  

then go to the admin area and click Repair and Quick Repair and Rebuild

Hi guys

Instead of modifying the vardefs itself you may set the attribute:

 'displayParams' => array('required' => true), 
  

Into field definition at the custom/modules/<ModuleName>/metadata/editviewdefs.php

I have tried this except in the opposite direction. Can't seem to get it to work.
Tried Clint's suggestion too in another .

Due to some customization we would like to leave the client link in the Opportunities module just not make it required, as they will be working with Leads and opportunities.

How can I turn off that required field in a way that will be upgrade safe. The vardefs.ext.php gets rewritten each repair so it can't go there and doesn't work anyway. Tried the suggested displayParams as suggested above. gets rid of the red dot but not the requiredness!

Will just have to delete the field if can't get this to work.
Thanks Paris

info: Sugar 5.1b

custom/Extension/modules/Opportunity/Ext/Vardefs/vardefs.ext.php and example.php

$dictionary['Opportunity']['fields']['account_name'']['required'] = false;

Also tried it in the /modules/Opportunity/vardefs.php no luck...

I will keep playing hopefully one of the experts can clear this up.

Hi All,
I've tried the solution posted by andopes and it works properly for standard fields!
Now I'm looking for a way to make required City and States about Accounts module,
those fields are within the "Address" object field and I have no idea where put my hands

Can someone help me please?

Thanks a lot,
Max

Hi
To make the city or state required
go to custom/modules/Accounts/metadata/editvewdefs.php

then add the highlighted line

'lbl_address_information' =>
array (
0 =>
array (
0 =>
array (
'name' => 'billing_address_street',
'hideLabel' => true,
'type' => 'address',
'displayParams' =>
array (
'key' => 'billing',
'rows' => 2,
'cols' => 30,
'maxlength' => 150,

'required' => array('billing_address_city','billing_address_coun try'),
),
'label' => 'LBL_BILLING_ADDRESS_STREET',
),


Then quick repair and rebuild
