Hi Ajay,

setMandatory function sets the field as mandatory or non mandatory whereas isMandatory function checks whether the field is mandatory or not returns Boolean value. Sample codes with comments are below:

g_form.isMandatory('field_name');// returns true is field is mandatory and false if the field is non mandatory

g_form.setMandatory('field_name',true);//sets the field as mandatory.

g_form.setMandatory('field_name',false); //sets the field ad non mandatory.

Kindly mark my answer as Correct and Helpful based on the Impact.

Regards,

Chaitanya

yes, that's correct..

function onLoad() {
g_form.setMandatory('caller_id',false);
g_form.setMandatory('description',true);
g_form.isMandatory()
}

g_form.isMandatory('field_name'); it is showing false on mandatory fields also??
