Checking Required Fields

Because I wanted specific subject line when the form is submitted via email, I used the following script attached to the click event of a regular button:
var vCompany = Company.rawValue;
var vDevice = txtDeviceName.rawValue;
event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto:[email protected]?subject="+vCompany +" "+vDevice+" CDQ submittal &body=Submitting the attached Customer Design Questionnaire.",cSubmitAs:"PDF",cCharset:"utf-8"});
This works correctly, but the user can submit the form without all the required fields filled out. What script do I add to the regular button to check the required fields? I know the Submit e-mail button does this automatically, but as far as I know, the subject line cannot be dynamic when using this library button.
Thanks,
Mark

There are many ways...
The simplest is setting your required fields to "mandatory" and using execValidate() from your submit/print/etc. button.
if ([fieldName|subformName|formName].execValidate())
do stuff;
else
don't do stuff;
To get deeper into it, there are some exellent posts and script objects on the FormFeed blog:

Adobe Acrobat Required Field

Thanks in advance for your input.
I have created a form for our users fill out electronically, but print out to sign and return to us. I would like to make certain fields required; however, checking required fields on happens upon submitting the form electronically. Any suggestions? Thanks, again.

The "Required" property is intended for when PDF forms are submitted to a scripted web page for additional processing and it is the web page processing that throws the error, so many of the users that used this even with web submissions wrote scripts within the PDF to provide a better error message prompt.
You will have to create a special script to do this check.

Check for required fields before locking subforms and submitting

Hello,
I have a 5-page form with many questions, to be completed by the original requestor and multiple approvers. What I'm trying to do is have the original requestor's Submit button on p. 3 lock the input on the first three pages, but first check if all those fields have some content. I currently have all the fields on pp. 1-3 set to "Required" in the object properties, but my script still locks them when there's is one empty one. Here's what I have:
//Lock portions of form
Page1.access = "readOnly"
Page2.access = "readOnly"
Page3.access = "readOnly"
//Save document, allow user to change name
app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");
//Submit via e-mail
Submit_REAL.event__click.submit.target = "mailto:[email protected]" +
"?subject=Subject text" +
"&body=Message";
Submit_REAL.execEvent("click");
The automatic check for required fields happens after the pages get locked. I would like the check to stop the process before it locks the pages. Is there any way to check all at once that all "Required" fields on those pages have some content before allowing the script to proceed? I know how to script it to manually check the 50 or so questions on those pages, but I would like to avoid that. Thanks for any help.

There are a few problems that I can see from the start. First, your code is going to pick up EVERY node that exists on these pages. Some of those nodes will not have a rawValue, and some will not have an actual name. As an example, you can take your code and create a text field to dump all of the names of the nodes that you get when you pull in all of the nodes this way. Here's an example:
The result:
Now, the question is, do you have a consistent naming convention for your fields that might be empty? That could be text fields, radio button lists, etc. For instance, I always prefix the names of objects in order to more easily keep track of what they are in scripts. Since I'm doing that, I can check the name of the field for tf, nf, rbl, cb, or whatever I have included to make sure that I'm checking an actual field before I check for things like rawValue.
var nodeName = oNodes.item(nNodeCount).name;
if (nodeName.indexOf("tf")>-1 || nodeName.indexOf("rbl") > -1 || /*check other field types*/) {
//insert your code to check for empty answers here
As for your line 7 issue. The syntax problem is that you've put extra parentheses in your if statement. Take out the parentheses that are just before and after the or "||".
*This is my fourth attempt to reply. Something was going on with Adobe/Jive earlier, I suppose.

How to make text box required field if checkbox is checked??

I have a web form that I need to look something like this:
(Checkbox) Check here if it is for an individual ID: (textbox) Required field if checkbox is checked and a numeric value
(Checkbox) Check here if it is for an organization ID: (textbox) Required field if checkbox is checked and a numeric value
(Checkbox) Check here if is neither (textbox is hidden and not required if "neither" is checked)
Currently the form looks like this: http://ncsu.edu/advancement-services/resources/researchrequest.html. The above information is going to go where it says prospect name and id number on the form. I would like to have the three checkboxes in a menu instead if that is possible.
How do I make the form do this? I created the form in the above link but I don't can't figure this one out.
Thanks so much in advance!!
Erika Roe

Sharmila,

Entry in field Funds Center required; check the field control Mg No.FMEF010

Hi,
We have a Z tcode for converting planned order to purchase requisition.
We use Account assignment P - Project and A - Asset.
We have WBS element and fund center linked to it.
For the Z tcode while converting Planned order to purchase requisition we are getting below error
Error: Entry in field Funds Center required; check the field control Msg No.FMEF010
While creating manually purchase requisition with same GL code and WBS element the fund center gets automatically picked.
Can anyone pls let me know in which table we can find the link between WBS element and fund center so that we can code the same in our program. In PRPS table we can find the link between WBS and profit center.
Or is there any user exit that can be used.
Thanks in advance.

Hello
If you do a F1 in the value date field it will give you the answer - The value date is used in bank accounts and bank sub-accounts.
As regards the other query check whether the tax code has been already created.
Hope it helps.

Required field check in ALV

Hi,
I'm trying to make a required field check on a ALV field. I can see that the function works as required and produces an error to display in the message_manages
but when I return to the program no error is shown and no red box is displayed arround the field.
Any help is welcome...
Thanks,
Kris
This is my code:
DATA: l_attr_list TYPE cl_wd_dynamic_tool=>t_check_mandattr_tab,

             errors       TYPE boolean.
l_attr-node_path = 'QUOTATION_TO_CREATE'.
l_attr-element_index = 0.
l_attr-attribute_name = 'KWMENG'.
APPEND l_attr TO l_attr_list.
errors = cl_wd_dynamic_tool=>check_mandatory_attributes(
      attribute_list   = l_attr_list
      display_messages = abap_true
      context_root     = wd_context
CHECK errors EQ abap_false.

Hi Hans,
What ever you said is not possible because while returning to your program, the data won't be saved and it will closed in any situation.
If you want to do like this, Please display the pop-up before you are going to Program saying that " Do you want to save this data?" that time it will display the error and you can do what ever you want.
I think My answer will give helpful information to you. If not please reply with some more information then i will try to reslove your problem
Warm Regards,

Adobe forms-checking that required fields are completed-Java Script

I have inserted two Java Scripts into my form--one for checking for required fields are completed, and then one for generating an email pulling a custom subject line, as shown below:
var emptyFields = [];
for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) {
     var f= this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));
     if (f.type!="button" && f.required && f.display==display.visible) {
          if ((f.type=="text" && f.value=="") || (f.type=="checkbox" && f.value=="Off")) emptyFields.push(f.name);
if (emptyFields.length>0) {
     app.alert("Error! You must fill in the following fields:\n" + emptyFields.join("\n"));
this.mailDoc({bUI:false,cTo:"[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]",cSubject:"Bugzilla Form for: "+this.getField("Bugzilla Title").value+" - "+this.getField("Bugzilla ID").value})
Issue: After the error window displays fields that have not been completed, when I click OK the email window displays.
QUESTION: How can I stop the email window from displaying until all fields are completed?
THANKS!

Thank you so much for your quick response (and thank you for all the code that I am reusing!) I have another issue now.Can you see why the following is occurring....
I placed else in and now it edits the required fields, but once they are completed, will not initiate the email prompt. Here's what I have now
var emptyFields = [];
for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) {
     var f= this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));
     if (f.type!="button" && f.required && f.display==display.visible) {
          if ((f.type=="text" && f.value=="") || (f.type=="checkbox" && f.value=="Off")) emptyFields.push(f.name);
if (emptyFields.length>0) {
     app.alert("Error! You must fill in the following fields:\n" + emptyFields.join("\n"));
elsethis.mailDoc({bUI:false,cTo:"[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]",cSubject:"Bugzilla Form for: "+this.getField("Bugzilla Title").value+" - "+this.getField("Bugzilla ID").value})

Form Features: Checking for required fields on scrolling or moving to the next page.

Hi! I am developing a form which will be distributed to people using Adobe Reader without the JavaScript functionality. I have a form with about 20+ pages and each page has 4 required fields. I would like to make it easy for the users to show the errors then and there when they miss a require field, instead of having a generic "required field not filled" message at the end of the document. How do I do this without JavaScript? It would be better if the document jumps to the page where there is an empty "required" field.

This isn't possible without using JavaScript.

Posting Error: Field Pers.No. is a required field for G/L account

When I am trying to run the simulation posting run (PC00_M99_CIPE) then is getting an error that u201CField Pers.No. is a required field for G/L account 2275 504566872u201D
Field Pers.No. is a required field for G/L account 2275 504566872
Message no. F5808
Diagnosis
The value for field "Pers.No." in the interface to Financial Accounting is an initial value but you are required to make an entry in the field selection for G/L account "504566872" in company code "2275" linked to the field selection for posting key "50".
Procedure
It might be an error in the configuration of the G/L account field selection. The initial application, used to call up the interface must otherwise define a value for field "Pers.No.". If this is the case, contact the consultant responsible for the application used to call up the interface or get in contact with SAP directly.
Please help.

First of all did you required to post with personnel number or not....if it is not required then goto FS00 enter your GL account 504566872....find Field Staus Group under tab Create/Bank/Interest........then goto t code OBVV and select your field status group then click on field status and select Additional account assignments and check personnel number status and change as per your requirement optional or required.
If personnel number required then create symbolic a/c with account type Q and assign gl account to this symbolic a/c.

MissingFieldException[ The following required field is missing from the lau

Hi, I'm new to this forum so please put this thread in the right place if I have made a mistake.
But here's my problem:
I'm using jre 7 with the latest version.
I downloaded and wanted to launch a Java based .jar game, which runs perfectly for the other users but my JRE gives the following error:
Application error - unable to launch the application.
MissingFieldException[ The following required field is missing from the launch file: <jnlp>]

On the forum where is the game developed i got the following answer:
''+it seems your OS/jre installation tries to start the jar as an applet which fails, because it's a regular application and not an applet. is there any way you can convince your jre to start LS as an application? i would like to give better/more detailed advice, but i'm not running windows, so i can't check for myself/try to work out a step-by-step guide.+ ''
As I have browsed the internet for hours and haven't come up with a solution I'm asking for some help.

That error seems to indicate that the JNLP file is broken because it is missing the starting starting <jnlp> XML tag; I'll take a guess and just say that it is completely empty. Since it works for other users, apparently somehow when you download it on your computer you end up with a broken file. No idea why, no way for me to know why either. I don't have access to your computer. All I can say is: try in another browser and if that doesn't work, try on another computer. If it works there, well then you may have to face the fact that your computer might need a clean install.
And PS: this is a Java programming forum, not technical support for whatever game you want to play that just happens to use Java.

Power view in SharePoint - Required fields not working!!!

Hi,
We have SharePoint 2013 and SQL Server 2014 and SSRS in SharePoint integrated mode.
We have a "Microsoft BI Semantic Model for Power View"-data connection in a document library and by clicking it users can create their own Power View reports.
We have in the document library defined a couple of columns as required.
When a user saves their Power View report(File->Save as) to the document library, the required fields are left blank. They are not checked!!!
WHY?
Does Power View use REST when saving to the document library?
This question should be in SQL Server/Power View/SharePoint -forumns, but MSDN forces you to select only one.
How can we enforce the checking of required columns???

It might be the result of nested script tags.
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
<!--
Remote one of those opening tags and remove the closing tag in between the scripts.
Also, I'm not sure if you are aware, but your site looks completely broken in Firefox. Edges are ragged and the text runs off the page in places. This is the result of using a graphics program to create your html. Image ready slices are fine for prototyping, but not suitable for production work because they create code that is fragile and too rigid.
I also would not use the Flash header you have used just to display imges. I suggest using a more accessible method.

Hello Ravinagh,
Heres what I did:
OB41> Double clicked on posting key 81> clicked on field status> Payment transactions> Both Due date and Value date have already been set to optional.
For OB14 it asks me to input a field status variant.
There are three of them. Now here is the tricky part, how do I find out which field variant has been assigned
0001     Field status for 0001
1000     Field status for CoA 1000
3000     Field status for CoC 3000
I went further and check for all the three variants one by one
and found out that in the field status> Payment transactions for the following entry in the field status group
G045     Goods/invoice received clearing accounts
The DUE DATE and VALUE DATE are suppressed. What do I need to do here?
Next I checked OBB8 to find the following three Options I dunno which one of them is applicable to the GL account 122400 for Cocd 1200. Where can I find the assignment? How can I find which payment term is being used.
   PayT        Sales text
Day limit   Explanations
0001
0           Payable immediately Due net
0002
0           Within 14 days 3 % cash discount
              Within 30 days 2 % cash discount
              Within 45 days Due net
0003
15          Within 14 days 2 % cash discount
              Within 30 days 1.5 % cash discount
              Within 45 days Due net
              Baseline date on 30 of the month
Entry 1 of 40
Well I went ahead and clicked on each of them
For 0001 the Default for Baseline date is set to Posting date (Do I need to change anything here?)
For 0002 the Default for Baseline date is set to Document date (Do I need to change anything here?)
For 0003 the Default for Baseline date is set to Posting date (Do I need to change anything here?)
Please guide me here. If you need screenshots I would be glad to mail it to you.
I hope you understood the scenario.
Thanks

How do I use 'submit' as complete pdf, and use 'drawn my signature' with required fields?

I have created a form with required fields, no problem. The form can be completed with adobe reader, and a signature added using Sign > Place signature > Draw my signature, great. But i need the required fields to be checked and then sent by email, so I have add a button and set the action to "Submit a form" and selected "PDF The Complete Document" from the options. I then add the javascript URL - mailto:????@????.com, but now the "Draw my signature" option is greyed out.
I have asked this question a number of times, and cannot get a proper answer, please can someone help or offer a work around.

George,
Thanks for your response, but I am not sure it fully answers my question. I have attached a screenshot to show what I mean - here I have created a simple form, with one required field for some data, using Acrobat XI. If I open the form (I have not reader enabled the form) in Adobe Reader XI, I am able to add a drawn signature, I could save the document then attach to an email to send as you have suggested.
But, If I now add a Submit button, set the URL to mail it to [email protected] and select "PDF the complete document" as below
When I open the document in Adobe Reader now, the signature options are all greyed out as you can see.
Hope this clarifies my predicament

"You must specify a value for this required field" in SharePoint list

HI All,
I have a couple of taxonomy fields in my content type. When I try to add a new item with my content type and save, I'm getting an error message "You must specify a value for this required field" against each taxonomy field. I'm not sure what am
I missing. I deleted the content type and added that again to my list but still no luck. Can someone please help me out? Thanks.
Regards,
SC Vinod

hi
it depends how you updated existing field. We faced with the problem that update of taxonomy site column was not propagated to the lists. In Sharepoint when content type is bound to the list, new hidden content type is created for that list - you may check
it if will enumerate
SPList.ContentTypes property. And when you try to update site column changes may not be propagated to these list content types. In order to update it you need to get reference on a field from list content type and update if explicitly.
