Make a field in a subpanel not required Sugar 5.5

[ndaley]

Hi

I would like to make the amount and expected date close fields in the accounts opportunities sub panel not required. I have tried adding

$dictionary["Opportunities"]["fields"]['amount']['required'] = false;

to the /custom/extension/modules/opportunities/ext/vardefs/custom.php file. I have also tried adding

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

to the amount and date_close arrays in forAccounts.php file in the custom/modules/opportunities/metadata/subpanel directory but it is all to no avail. I would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance

In custom/modules/Opportunities/metadata/editviewdefs.php change 'required' => true to 'required' => false

Then do a repair

Thanks mike but I already have that line in the editviewdefs.php (see attached file). It seems to work in the inser and edit pages in the opportunities section but not for the opportunities sub panel in the accounts section. Do you have any idea how I can get it to work in the sub panel?

What are you actually trying todo?

Subpanels display data so required is not relevant

Are you just trying to remove the fields from the subpanel?

Ok I think I have my terminology wrong sorry

In the accounts section there is an area where a user can create a opportunity whilst viewing an account. I would like to make the amount field in this area not required (as it is in the opportunities create and edit pages)
