make field required

[kinshibuya]

Hi!
I'm trying to make a field required i'm adding this lines to /custom/Extension/modules/Notes/Ext/Vardefs/myfile.php

$dictionary['Note']['fields']['accounts_notes_name']['required'] = true;

I do repair and rebuild but it doesn't work, any ideas?

Hi Priscila

You just need to add the attribute

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

Into field def at editviewdefs.php

Cheers

I'm jumping in here I need to make a field that is required not required. The field is account name in the Opportunity module. I tried to simply make a custom metadata editviewsdefs.php to set required as false that hasn't worked I tried to create a custom file to override the vardefs entry for account_name in the vardefs.php of the Opportunity same as above but replacing my feilds for his but that didn't work

Any idea how I to do this when the field is not created in aooportunity??

Opportunties depends on Accounts. Did you try Admin -> Repair -> Quick Repair and Rebuild after implementing such customization?

Hi,

Ya I tried Repair it, the only way I could get it to work was if I edited the vardefs in /modules/Opportunities/

When I create the custom file for the vardefs override what must it be called or can it be anything? I have it placed in /custom/....../Ext/Vardefs and I called it vardefs.ext.php

Hi!
Andopes! Thanks it worked.
How come it doesn't work just by adding the required=>true on vardefs?
