Standard Fields in sugarcrm 5...

[TakeMarket]

Question:

In sugarcrm 5, why is it not possible to edit the standard fields in sugarcrm, as for example the tick off boxes in leads (audit, required etc.) are disabled??

Is it real y correct that if you wish to set some entries in the forms on different modules as "required" you will have to clone them and rebuild the default fields?

Or is there a way to enable the default fields "tick off boxes" as audit, required etc. ??


Thanks in advance.

If you look in other thread you will see this is a feature that has not yet been enabled. This can be easily changed by adding the following:

Say for Accounts (adjust for other modules!)
in the file: .\custom\Extension\modules\Accounts\Ext\Vardefs\cu stom.php (create if necessary, trn the \ to / if in linux!)

<?php
$dictionary['Account']['fields']['industry']['massupdate'] = true;
$dictionary['Account']['fields']['industry']['audited'] = true;
$dictionary['Account']['fields']['industry']['required'] = true;
?>

Where industry is the field you want to change the audit/requyired/massupdate

Make changes as you need to.

Thanks Paris
