how can custom default fileds?

[hadasme]

hi,
I’m using version 5.0.0b
I want to edit some of the default fields , for example: I want to edit in the leads tab the lead source and to make the country filed mandatory.
When i go to the studio , and select the default fields i can't edit it only clone or save it.
How can i do it?
Also if i add new filed like 'working model' , and when i use convert lad, i want that this filed will appear in the opportunity and in the account. Can i do this kind of operation?

thanks
Hadas

You can do this by changing the vardefs file.

Remember to change the one in the custom/ directory! so its upgrade safe.

I forget the exact position but there is a setting where you can specify it to be required. Look in the Accounts/vardef.php or one of the other modules. The last name is a required field. See how they did it there and copy it. You can use the custom directory to extend the standard vardef definition to include the required flag.

Good luck,

PS I know this has been addressed in a another stream, you should try to search on vardef required. PT

The line Paris refers to in vardefs.php is

'required'=> true,

if you add this to a field, it will have to be filled, mandatorily.

You have to create the file:
custom/modules/YourModule/Ext/Vardefs/vardefs.ext.php

Inside it you reset the property you want.

LIke that:

 $dictionary['Meeting']['fields']['contact_id_c']['type']   = 'id';
$dictionary['Meeting']['fields']['contact_id_c']['vname']  = 'LBL_CONTACT_ID_C';
$dictionary['Meeting']['fields']['contact_id_c']['isnull'] = false;
$dictionary['Meeting']['fields']['contact_id_c']['module'] = 'Contacts'; 
  

Cheers
