Hiding mandatory fields..

Hi, I'm looking to not display some mandatory fields in certain scenarios. I will fill them with "n/a" just so that the form can be submitted.

I've tried this with a non-mandatory field an it has worked ok.                  

function onLoad() {

          If (matches conditions){

                    g_form.setDisplay('description', false);     //works

                    g_form.setDisplay('u_what_are_the_benefits_of_imp',false);   //doesn't work

            }

}

But when trying the same with some other fields its not working. I'm guessing because they are mandatory?

Is there a way around this?

Thanks

If there is a mandatory field you cant make it read only or hide it, so before you have to hide you make the field non mandatory.



Similarly, if a field is read only you cant make it mandatory, you first need to make it editable n then make it mandatory.

how can i create an average resolution time on reports in service now? Any help would be appreciated.


Hello Meena,



That would be a separate question. I suggest you place this as a new question.
