Correct syntax to make a field required

what is the correct syntax to make a field required
i assumed it would be like setReadOnly(true); but its not.
i searched the forum and got only 1 hit that shows leaf.setRequired(UIConstants.REQUIRED_YES); i tried this it didnt work
i am doing this.
OAMessageTextInputBean po = (OAMessageTextInputBean)webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive("PurchaseOrder") ;
po.setRequired(true);
couldnt find nothing in the manual neither. wheres the mistake in the example.
cheers

i did as suggested multiple ways it runs but when create button on page 1 is hit to go to page 2 i get the error page w/ the same error below the code
any other suggestions or is a problem sticking out.
i tried these options
public void processRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
OAMessageTextInputBean et = (OAMessageTextInputBean)webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive("EtChoice") ;
et.setRequired("true");
Or
OAMessageTextInputBean et = (OAMessageTextInputBean)webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive("EtChoice") ;
et.setRequired("yes");
Or
OAMessageTextInputBean et = (OAMessageTextInputBean)webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive("EtChoice") ;
et.setRequired("no");

SPEL? make REASON field required if user has changed the value in SALARY

I have a requirement to make REASON field required if user has changed the value in SALARY field. Is it possible using spel? what are my options?

Karan,
You can change the Rendered Property through personalization.
But in your requirement you need to attach the Spell through personalization & extend the existing CO to set the value of the SPELL based upon the condition.

How to make metadata fields required when creating folders

Hello all....
Related issue with SR 3-6472229431 and SR 3-6471130611.
We're using DIS 11.1.6 64-bits (2011_11_29 (rev 9756) 11.1.6.97) in a Windows 7 64-bits workstation (with UCM 11.1.1.5 in a Linux machine). The check-in of images to UCM goes fine.
I'm trying to make some metadata fields required when creating a folder. These fields are required when making a check-in, but not when creating folders.
Folders_g is enabled. DesktopTag too.
EDIT: Patch: 14695303 - WCC 11.1.1.5.0 BUNDLE ( MLR 16 ) NOV 6 2012 applied.
Is it possible?
Thanks for all.
Edited by: fgomes on 22/11/2012 03:24

After reading your response and rereading the original question a bit closer, the metadata prompting feature does not apply to creating new folders, only content.
Again, though, I think the focus here is in the wrong place. The metadata applied to a folder is intended to be ultimately applied to the content. You can build global rules that fire on submission of content to check if a field has a value, and throw an error if the value is empty.
If you expect users to create folders (and actually apply any metadata to the actual folder itself), you will be disappointed. Experience shows that users are not interested in that level of detail when creating content, let alone folders. Letting typical users create folders is a bad idea anyway, as they tend to create the same inefficient folder structures they previously created in file shares within Content Server.
If you need to tightly control folder attributes, you'll be better served by locking down the ability to create new folders. Otherwise you're looking at some type of customization. Keep in mind that you won't be able to customize the right click behavior of DIS. Any changes to DIS would have to be an enhancement request.

Make a field required on record creation, read only after that

Hello,
Does anyone know of a way to make a pick-list field required on record creation, but read-only after that? The other twist to this is that we need to allow this field to also be read-write for all the integration edits, since this field's value could change in the enterprise database.
Thanks,
Neal G.

Hi !
I think you can add a validation rule for that. Something like :
IIf(PRE('<YOURFIELD>') IS NULL, <> '', = PRE('<YOURFIELD>'))
This means that if the previous value of your field is null (it's a creation), so the value must be different than blank. Else, it must be equal to the previous value, so not modified.
I didn't tested it, but I let you get back to me if it works... or not !
You'll just have to add a message saying that this field is required on creation and readonly after...
Hope this will help, feel free to ask more !

Make a field required based on input in another field

So I have researched the forum to answer the question of how to make certain fields in a form required if a value is entered in another designated field, and not required if no value is entered in the designated field.
For example:
There is a field titled QTY_paper, and if a value is entered into QTY_paper, then the field PROGRow1 should become required.
If no value is entered into QTY_paper, then PROGRow1 is not required.
I've tried both FormCalc and Javascript, but with no results. In FormCalc I added this script as a mouseExit event on QTY_paper:
if ($.isNull == 0) then
     //Make the budget field Required
     PROGRow1.validate.nullTest = "error";
endif
and then I added this script in FormCalc to the mouseExit event on PROGRow1:
if ($.isNull == 0) then
$.validate.nullTest = "disabled"
endif
This came almost verbatim from another post on the forum, so I'm thinking I'm missing something obvious here... which isn't too odd as I'm still pretty new at adding the scripts. Please help if you can!

You'd want to combine both scripts on the first field with an if/else statement. And I'd use the Exit event instead of Mouse Exit (not sure if Mouse Exit handles tabbing in and out of fields).
The first script should have worked, but with the second script you were asking if PROGRow1 was null, not QTY_paper.
FormCalc:
if ($.isNull) then
     PROGRow1.validate.nullTest = "error"
else
     PROGRow1.validate.nullTest = "disabled"
endif

BDC Recording - Make a field required

Dear Experts,
We are using a BDC recording to call MIRO and send it to an agent via workflow using a z-table.
The customer wants the baseline date on this recording grey'ed out and the business area field required.
The baseline date is on the "PAYMENT" tab of MIRO and Business Area on the "DEATILS" tab.
I have created a screen and transaction variant a year ago and assigned it to the t-code, but now with the BDC calling MIRO for the INVOICE Scanning project, these fields can be overwritten and left out.
How can I do it via BDC?

You could create a on-submit pl/sql validation on 'p2_estim_val'. The validation code will return a failure if the value of p2_estim_val is not specified if the value of p2_reason_to_scap_sell is non-null
The validation code could be something as simple as
if not :p2_reason_to_scap_sell is null and :p2_estim_val is null then
return 'A value is required for p2_estim_val';
end if;varad

How to make a field required

I'm using Adobe LiveCycle 8.0. I just created my first form. There is a few fields I would like to make required. I already have the TAB order the way I need it to be. Here's what I need to happen: If a user starts filling out the form & does not fill in any information in the client ID field, & they hit the TAb key, I want some kind of error to pop up telling them the client ID field is required. Is this possible? Thanks

You can put the following JavaScript code into the exit event of the Client ID field:
if (this.rawValue == '' || this.rawValue == null){
xfa.host.messageBox("The client ID field is required.");
Just make sure you have selected JavaScript from the Language drop down and not FormCalc. You can also set the field type as 'User Entered - Required' in the 'Value' tab of the 'Object' Palette and insert a message in the 'Empty Message' box. This will then validate on submitting the form and a red border will appear on that field.

Is it possible to make a field required when a "sales stage" is chosen?

Hi all.
We use certain sales stages for our opportunites.
The higher ups would like to make it required to choose a "Reason Lost" when the "Sales Stage" "closed/lost" is picked.
These fields are picklists currently used by everyone. "Sales Stage" is required currently.
We cannot pull this from Dynamic Layout because it is a field that is not "Opportunity Type" driven.
Thanks in advance!!

yes it is possible. In the sales process detail where u have defined the Sales stage. Drill down on the closed/lost sales stage. In this section u will see a section called "Additional Required Fields"
you can specify the fields you want to make required for that particular sales stage

Make one field required based on another field

I am trying to set a form up, so that when a check box is marked, then the corresponding date field is required. I set the script language to Javascript and entered this script:
if
(this.rawValue == "1") (PROPOSALDATE.mandatory = "error")
However, I get an error message stating "syntax error near toekn '!' on line 1, column 20." There is no ! in this script, so I don't know what it is talking about. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
The script that executes if the statement is true should be inside curly brackets. So the following in the click event of the checkbox should work:
if (this.rawValue == "1")
PROPOSALDATE.mandatory = "error";
else
PROPOSALDATE.mandatory = "disabled";
The above is Javascript.
Hope that helps,
Niall

How to make a field required before printing?

I need to create PDF forms that include numerous required fields. These forms are Word (2013) documents that are converted to PDF. The problem I'm trying to figure out is it sounds like the "required" field option is only enforced when the form is submitted through a web browser. Is there a way to force the user to complete the required fields before printing the form? If it's not possible through Acrobat XI, any suggestions on easiest way or software needed to accomplish this goal?
I will be using Acrobat XI Pro, but the users will mostly have Adobe Acrobat Reader.

For that you need to write custom JavaScript to read the fields, and test the required fields to see if they have been completed or not. For many fields one can compare the value to the defaultValue and others may need some special coding for the specific field.
It is not possible with JavaScript to prevent printing but one can hide or show fields or modify field properties before the PDF is printed.

Form Personalization - Make field required based on LOV selection

Newbie here.
I am trying to make a field required based on the selection of the LOV that is next to it. Having a heck of a time with it.
The form i am working on is the Sub Invenntory form that you get to via Organization Items. We want the subinvnetory field to be manditory when subinv is selected from the LOV in the sources tab.
here is what i have so far:
CONDITION
Trigger Event: WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORD
Trigger Obj: ITEM_SUBINVENTORIES
Condition: ${item.item_subinventories.SOURCE_TYPE.value} = 3
Action
Type: Property
Object Type: Item
Target Object: ITEM_SUBINVENTORIES.SOURCE_SUBINVENTORY
Property Name: REQUIRED
Value: TRUE
The problem seems to be that i can't get the field to be required. It shows up yellow but still allows me to save w/ the field being blank.

I do not know about the particular form that you are trying to personalize, but whenever I have created a condition, it has usually been in the following syntax:
:BLOCK_NAME.FIELD_NAME = 'VALUE'
For example, :MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS.PRIMARY_UNIT_OF_MEASURE_MIR = 'SEAT'
Yours seems to be very much different from mine, but then again, I am not technical so I cannot comment intelligently on that aspect.
May be that is the problem.
Also, once you get it to work, you might want to also add a condition where the field is turned to un-required when the SOURCE_TYPE is NOT 3.

To make fields required

Hello,
I want to make some fields required after ı create the record. I have 5 or more fields that needed to be required fields after create and save the record.
Thank you.

Hi,
You may have to create one back end field for each of the fields.
At the time of creation of a new record, do a pre default value of "0" so the field validation checks are not fired. During modification, check whether the field is empty or null, if empty try to update the backend fields as "1" using workflows
On the backend field right a field validation that field X is mandatory
Now if the user has left the field X as empty, validation on backend field would fail and the record cannot be saved
Hope it helps
Alternatively you can manage with one generic backend field, if you are fine to give one generic message saying all these fields are mandatory

Can I make certain fields conditionally required?

I am TOTALLY new to acrobat- just to put that out there first. I am wondering in acrobat (NOT formscentral or indesign) how to make certain fields required based off the answer of the previous required field.
I.E first required field- "is this a single application?" if so, do NOT make the next few fields required
"is this a joint application?" if so, make the next rew fields required.
Can I get some help with this?
Thanks!

What is commonly done is a button is used to initiate the email, using a "Submit a Form" action and specifying the email address of the recipient. The submit will fail if any fields that are marked as required are blank. In your case, you need to set the required property of certain fields conditionally, based on the sate of the form, and this will require a bit of scripting. It's not overly complicated though and you can get some help here.
The Acrobat help document is a good place to start, though it won't help with JavaScript programming. A good resource is AcrobatUsers.com where there are a number of tutorials and other resources available about forms.
Be aware that submitting form by email is often less reliable than expected, for many different reasons. A more reliable and secure approach is to set up the form to submit to a web server, but this involves even more expertise as it involves server-side programming and interacting with a PDF form. Emailing may seem sufficient for your needs, but be aware of the alternatives.
