Make a dff segment mandatory based on another segment

Question

Hello All,
I have the following requirement in R12
In the receivables application for Address Information flexfield there are 2 segments..
for segment1 there is an LOV and segment2 is a free text.
If segment1 is say 'xyz' then we have to make segment2 as mandatory.
This flexfield is in customer sites and this is an oaf page.
Iam new to oaf and not aware of the personalizations in OAF. Any help provided would be great.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
In ProcessFormRequest method we can't set Bean's property as per your requirement.
But still you can try following programatically. Not sure as I have never tried but give it a shot :)
In ProcessRequest:
1. Create a VO dynamically having a transient attribute. Attach this VO to AM of that page.
2. Create a new row for this VO and set the transient value to "no"
3. Bind an event (firePartialAction) on the item mapped to 1st segment i.e. your LOV.
4. Bind a SPEL to Required property for the textInputBox mapped to segment2. SPEL will have the VO you have created in step 1.
In ProcessFormRequest:
1. Check for the event of segment1
2. If yes, Check the value selected.
2. If this is the value you want textInputBox to set mandatory, set the transient Attribute of VO created in ProcessRequest's Step 1 to "yes".
Hope it works.
