Configure data policy to make field mandatory in list view.

Hi,

Create a BEFORE Business rule with filter condition as state | Changes to | Pending,close compelte with script as

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

// Add your code here

if (current.work_notes.getDisplayValue() == null) {

//do something

current.setAbortAction(true);

gs.addInfoMessage('PASS YOUR CUSTOM MESSAGE HERE');

}

})(current, previous);

Please mark reply as Helpful/Correct, if applicable. Thanks!

Why do you need to write script if this is possible with configuration?

It doesn't make sense to maintain code for this simple requirement which is possible with configuration.
