Quick question on making a field "required"

I know that it's pretty easy to make a custom field required from Studio. Is there any corresponding way to make a built-in field required ("Industry" in "Accounts", for example) without hacking the php?

Hello!

It's really simple to do but i don't now how to do it in Studio.

You have to add line
'required'=>true,

in the file
modules\Accounts\vardefs.php

so code should be like below

'industry' =>
array (
'name' => 'industry',
'vname' => 'LBL_INDUSTRY',
'required'=>true,
'type' => 'enum',
'options' => 'industry_dom',
'len'=>25,
),

HI,

In addition to the previous post, you also need to add the following to the HTML file to display the field as mandatory

<span class="required">{APP.LBL_REQUIRED_SYMBOL}

Hope this helps
