Making a field required in Sugar OnDemand

[cloudmadeadmin]

Hi there - I thought this would be a simple thing to change but I can't find an answer anywhere.

On the Leads module the Last Name is a required field. For the purposes of a web to lead form I want to make the First Name and Email also required fields. I am then quite likely to want to take this functionality off. I have already changed a field I created to be required but find that this is greyed out as an option in Studio for system fields.

Lots of answers to this for those who can access the php files but I can't find an answer for those of us using OnDemand.

Please help

I don't know if this is still an issue, but if it is:
Have you tried making the fields mandatory on the web-to-lead form -only-? After all, once you have one of those forms, you can edit it and add the required characteristics to the field you want.

Then in the javascript, add the fields to the required list and you're set.

No need to do anything to the fields in Sugar itself.

Hello I have tried this and some of the other suggestions in the forums and cannot seem to get any of them to work. I am new to using Sugar so please bare with me. I added the required fields to the output of the web form wizard right after where last_name is required, do I need to change anything else as well? Using Sugar 5.2j thanks in advance.

 <input id="req_id" name="req_id" value="last_name;" type="hidden"></td></tr><tr><td class="mceVisualAid" style="display: none;"><input id="req_id" name="req_id" value="first_name;" type="hidden"></td></tr><tr><td class="mceVisualAid" style="display: none;"><input id="req_id" name="req_id" value="phone_work;" type="hidden"></td></tr><tr><td class="mceVisualAid" style="display: none;"><input id="req_id" name="req_id" value="primary_address_postalcode;" type="hidden"></td></tr><tr><td class="mceVisualAid" style="display: none;"><input id="req_id" name="req_id" value="primary_address_country;" type="hidden"></td></tr></tbody></table></form>
