standard fields - need to make it required on the UI.

[rtetlow]

I have a case form and I need some of the standard fields that are not required - required ?. I have the on-demand sugarcrm prof. edition 5.1.0 - how do you do that ?. The only way I could see is by changing the field itself - but it wont allow me because presumably its a standard and not a custom field. I couldnt see how you do it in the layout editor either.

Thanks. in advance.

Hi rtetlow

You can add the attribute required => 'true' in the editviewdefs.php

where do you do that in the UI ?

what does UI stands for?

On sugarcrm/custom/Extensions/modules/YOURMODULE/Ext/Vardefs

you can create a file with the content

<?php

$dictionary['<yourmoduke>']['fields']['<field name you want to change']['required'] = 'true';

?>

Sorry - UI stands for User Interface. I dont see the menu path you suggest - are you talking about the on-premise version of sugar ? remember I am running the on-demand (commercial_ version of sugar and do not have access (at least from what I can see) to the operating system to make such modifications.

Hi rtetlow

You can edit the file custom/modules/<ModuleName>/metadata/editviewdefs.php

It has a big array and one of its elements is the field definitions to be displayed into layout.
You can look for the field to be set as required and add the attribute:

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

I have the on-demand version remember - I dont see where we have access to the source code. So I am assuming we cannot do this if you cannot do it in the user interface.

Hi rtetlow

You can create a simple installer which perform the required change to do that.
Let me know if you need help!
