Making section mandatory

[Vanit]

Hi,

I'm trying to make a section mandatory on form. Can anyone please provide any pointers.

Thanks.

Hi Vani,

Either you can make any field of the section Mandatory onLoad or you can check it onSubmit as bellow. Write a Client script onSubmit to check and show alert message.

if (g_form.getControl('field_1') && g_form.getControl('field_2') && g_form.getControl('field_3')){

  if(g_form.getValue('field_1') == '' || g_form.getValue('field_2') == '' || g_form.getValue('field_3') == ''){

  g_form.setMandatory('field_1', true);

  g_form.setMandatory('field_2', true);

  g_form.setMandatory('field_3', true);

  alert('Please complete the mandatory fields');

  return false;

  }

  }

I hope this helps.Please mark correct/helpful based on impact

I guess if you make fields under that section mandatory by Ui Policy, the section will itself become mandatory.

PS: Hit like, Helpful or Correct depending on the impact of the response.

Hi,

We have many questions in the section, of which all are mandatory. Mandatory pop-up should display only the section name, but not the entire questions.

So, looking for the making section mandatory.

Thanks

Hi Vani,

you can write a client script onSubmit to check and show message accordingly,

for example,

if(g_form.getValue('yourFieldName1') == '' || ..so on...)

{

      // give the section mandatory message

      alert('Section XXX mandatory, please fill the all fields etc...');

      return false;

}

If this is a catalog item form, then you can use catalog UI policies to control it too.
