Best way to enforce mandatory fields in list control insert

[thisisauniqueus]

Hi,

i want the user to be able to insert a new record from the list view control. The BR i have defined on my table for the form will work as usual(or so is my understanding, plz advice if otherwise). Now in my table i have some fields that are not mandatory but using the UI policies i am making them mandatory based on some calculations and other fields. Is there a way i can enforce the mandatory fields constraint on the list view control insert?

what i have planned is to have a BR on before insert, and in that i will check for all the mandatory fields values and if some field is missing a value ill setAbortAction to true.

Please suggest a better approach if possible.

Regards

Convert the UI policy to Data policy .. That should work

Also note in list control editing , the BR does not run. You can use the onCellEdit client script / Data Policy as suggested by Kalai for making fields as mandatory.

Thanks and Hope it helps.

BR is a servers side trigger. It will run however the record is updated. It could be via form, list, web service , etc
