Mandatory Tab/Form Section

[Ken83]

Hello Community,

        I'm having an issue on my Change Task form. I am displaying fields on the change task that reside on the parent change record. So, when a task is generated, these fields are visible and mandatory. The problem is that the tab does not show the * on the tab to indicate the mandatory fields. I am using a UI Policy to make the fields mandatory. Any suggestions? See below..

This page might have something you can use on it, specifically g_tabs2Sections.markMandatoryTabs();

Perfect. I was just toying around with that method earlier but I didn't have a defined list which is why I didn't know about markMandatoryTabs(). That does exactly what I need. Thank you sir!

It turns out that the g_tabs2Sections.markMandatoryTabs() is not running onLoad. I get the asterisk(*) once I modify a field, remove the value and click away from it. Then it recognizes that a field is mandatory on the tab, and the tab shows properly.

If I just load the page for the first time, there is still no indication that a tab has mandatory fields on it.

Are the fields on the Assessment tab also set mandatory by UI Policies? Perhaps the * on the tab only show when there are field mandatory by dictionary or dictionary override?

Yes, they are set by UI policy.
