Mandatory fields have different colored asterisks.

On my record producer I have a several mandatory fields. Generally a mandatory field has a red asterisk. Some of the fields mentioned below have red and grey asterisk both.

Expected behavior- All fields should have red asterisk. Once the field is filled with values, red asterisk should convert to blue.

You filled the default value now with the displayname of those references. Instead of the displayname, you just have to enter the sys_id as default value.

For example:

Company Code
default value - Company Code from sup org

You entered here a string text, the display value. As default value you should enter the sys_id, obviously I don't what your sys_id is, though something like something like 57251948db8458d85ed4a851ca96191e, just as default value instead of the text you've entered now.

Hi there,

This looks valid. Because your reference fields on the right column do contain values. You can see this because the (I) icon is shown. So or they contain an invalid sys_id, or the display value is missing.

For example have a look at the default value of the variables concerned. Is that value correct? Or if these variables are filled onload check if the sys_id + displayvalue are set correctly

All these values have default value as follows. How do I set these?
Zone
default value - Zone from sup org

Company Code
default value - Company Code from sup org

Cost Center
default value - Cost Center from sup org

Business Unit
default value - Business Unit from sup org

Division
default value - Division from sup org

ZBB Function
default value - ZBB Function from sup org

ZBB Lookup
default value - ZBB Lookup from sup org

ZBB Type
default value - ZBB Type from sup org

 

Oke, these variables are references. So they expect a sys_id. Now you've passed just the display value.

So change this into the correct sys_ids.

Looks like grey or black asterisks has some default value that's why it's black/grey.
