Confusion between Dictionary overide and UI policies

Abhinab Achary1 · ‎05-21-2018

Hi All,

I have a requirement to make certain field mandatory for some classes. which approach is better

if the fields to be make mandatory are not dependent on any other field just based on tables.

Dictionary override or UI policies? is a better approach for this.

Thanks,

Abhinab

UI Policies work on the form, so if you just need the field to be mandatory then making ui policies (for individyual tables/forms) makes more sense.

If you want the fields to be mandatory regardless of the source(not just form)you can look for Data Policies and see what suits you best

Dictionary override should not be considered to just make a field mandatory.

Hi, @dave_edgar , You seem to be saying that it IS OK to use a Dictionary Override to make something Mandatory, as long as there are no dependencies. That seems to make sense.

@Anurag Tripathi You say Dictionary Overrides should NOT be used just to make a field Mandatory, and your answer was marked as Correct, however, can you give a Reason why not?
