Hi Prachi,

There seems to be some OOB restrictions for Currency field. Find link for workaround.

Hello,

you can go to dictionary of field and change accordingly like below but it is not best practice to change default value of OOB field, In case you need some price to be displayed by default for particular item then add the same in particular item as shown in another screenshot.

Hi,

You can't make a currency field mandatory directly and you can't set an empty default value.  You can do a couple of things though...

1)  Change the field to a decimal field where you can make it mandatory and empty by default.

or...

2)  Use an 'onSubmit' client script to perform the mandatory validation.  I think this is the best option.  Here's a client script you could use.  Just replace 'u_amount' with the name of your currency field...

function onSubmit() {
	// Make sure 'Amount' is not zero
	if (parseFloat(g_form.getValue('u_amount').split(';')[1]) <= 0) {
		g_form.addErrorMessage("Please enter an amount greater than zero in the 'Amount' field.");
		g_form.setMandatory('u_amount', true);
		return false;
	}
}
