Making amount field in opportunities opptional

[aheuermann]

First of all, how easily can this be done. Second of all, if the amount field is made optional, this field could possibly be null, would this screw with the functionality of the dashboard module?
Thanks in advance!

Hi

Goto the modules/opportunities/field_arrays.php

In last but one line u can find following:

'required_fields' => Array('name'=>1, 'date_closed'=>2, 'amount'=>3, 'sales_stage'=>4, 'account_name'=>5),

Remove the amout field from here. just like below

'required_fields' => Array('name'=>1, 'date_closed'=>2, 'sales_stage'=>4, 'account_name'=>5),

I guess it will be useful for u some extend.....

Thanks
