Sure. Create a BEFORE Business rule with filter condition as state | Changes to | Pending,close compelte with script as

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {


// Add your code here

if (current.work_notes.getDisplayValue() == null) {

//do something

current.setAbortAction(true);

gs.addInfoMessage('PASS YOUR CUSTOM MESSAGE HERE');

}


})(current, previous);

Hello Vibu,

You can make the field mandatory via data policy. Any reason you don't want to use this?

Hello Pradeep,

if I do it via data policy then other ways of updating state like via email or excel upload will not work.

Could you please any other way to do that

Thanks for the update. The only option is Data policy / a BEFORE business rule on the table.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
