set field to mandatory after form submission

[Momiji]

Hi!

I'm having trouble with setting a field to mandatory after submitting the form. I made an onSubmit client script with the usual script:

function onSubmit() {

        g_form.setMandatory('field', true);

        return false;

}

I'm not sure if I understood its usage correctly. After filling-up the form and clicked 'Save', the field became mandatory right away. But the requirement was to make it mandatory only after being able to save/submit the form.

Hi @Momiji ,

The onSubmit() client script runs right before the form is submitted. If you return false, the form won't submit.

To make the field mandatory, please use an onload client script or on change with necessary conditions required.

Mark it helpful if this helps you to understand. Accept solution if this give you the answer you're looking for

Kind Regards,

Since you are using g_form and only need to set read-only on submitted forms, you may want to consider the isNewRecord module and running onLoad. 

function onLoad(){

  if(!g_form.isNewRecord()){

    g_form.setMandatory('field',true);

  }

}

thanks @Ryan122! I used your script and it works!
