How to write an “On Load” client script on any INC table to make twp fields mandatory ?

Hi Rohit,

If you want make mandatory then go for UI policy that is the best practice.Instead of code use OOB functionality to maintain the performance.

To use UI Policy over client script is a good option when user just wants to make a field mandate.But, Genius user can open browsers developer tools (F12) and turn off the mandatory requirement. So be cautious

Hi,

UI Polocy is the better option,

In client script use "g_form.setMandatory();" method.

Hit like if help ful.

Hi Rohit,

As per the Best practice:- If you want to make field Mandatory, Read only or Visible at that time always use "UI Policy" instead of "Client Script".

But in your requirement if you want to use OnLoad Client Script then replicate your code with below code:-

function onLoad() 
{
   g_form.setMandatory('your_field_name', true); // replace with your field name   
}

Let me know if you have any question !!!

Thanks,
Priyanka

Hi Rohit,

The best practice of making fields mandatory, read only, visible or hide we should use UI policy instead of client scripts. The reason is UI policy always override Client scripts, so if you have some UI policy on the same field then it will override the client script.

As you asked, we can achieve that with client script as well with simple code as shown below:

g_form.setMandatory('<Field Name',true);

And there is one more solution for this without UI policy or client script. You can simple go to form design and check the mandatory check box for the field. But this is not suggested for the extended tables. you can use this for your custom table.

Please mark this answer correct if it resolved the query and mark it helpful if it helped you at all
