Hi,
how do i make the incident fix by change mandatory in the related list tab in change request?

You can use a BR to make it mandatory, but the question is—does an incident always get fixed through a change in practical scenarios? Rethink this approach, but yes, you can enforce it as mandatory if needed.

@Hermes14

you can use before update business rule and check and abort the update.

Condition: Category Changes to Service

Script:

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

    // Add your code here
    var gr = new GlideRecord("incident");
    gr.addQuery("rfc", current.sys_id);
    gr.query();
    if (!gr.hasNext()) {
        gs.addErrorMessage('Please add data in related list');
        current.setAbortAction(true);
    }

})(current, previous);

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.
