Required Field Not Throwing Error in REST API

[Priya84]

Hi,

I have required/mandatory fields in Customer_contact table. When i try to create (POST) a contact via REST API it is creating record with status 201. But  i have a required field account in customer_contacts table.

Please refer below image

Below is the contact which i have created via REST API.

Below image is the response for contact creation.

My question is, Why error not Shown when i try to post a contact via REST API, though a required field is not sent in request payload.

Hi ,

I referred data policy in document. There is a option called Converting UI policy to data policy by retaining UI policy as well. I am struggling in converting UI policy in data policy.

 I cannot see #3 My version is LONDON.

1. Navigate to System UI > UI Policies.
2. Open an existing UI policy.
3. Under Related Links, click Convert this to Data Policy.
   A new data policy record is created.

Please guide me in applying all UI policy to data policy (i.e) I want whatever validations functioning at UI level ,all things i want in REST API too because we are simulating the CRM UI in our integration.

Thanks in Advance.

make sure you are in default view ? 

Instead of converting your UI Policy to Data policy , create data policy here, because once you will convert that UI Policy will get deactivated and Data policy will get created.

Yes , i am in default view only.

I saw in document like 

Converting a UI policy to a data policy deactivates the UI policy. To retain the policy in the UI, ensure that the Use as UI Policy on client check box is selected on the data policy record.

Sure,

On editing column-specific-fields, not able to see that option.
