Hi Team,

Hi @Arun91 

We can achieve this requirement with the help of "UI Policy"

create UI policy on change_task table, fill the required fields and condition state = open then save the form, lastly add UI policy action by clicking NEW and select "embedded field" with mandetory fields = true;

We will not be able to see the Embedded field in the ui policy action

Assuming what you need is to ensure there is a row in Embedded list before the task is closed.

IF that is the case then there is no direct or oob way if doing so, What you can do is create a BR that will run on the change task table(before its closed or whatever your condition is) and query the table where the embedded list is to ensure there is at least 1 entry for the corresponding change task. And base don that allow the Change Task to close , or not.
