Can We bypass the mandatory field in a form

[sam352120]

Hi ,

Can we submit a form by not filling the mandatory field .Is that possible through any script or any method.

Please share your ideas.

You would have to make the field not mandatory. You could just reverse what is currently making it mandatory or use g_form.setMandatory('fieldname', false); What the use case here?

You can use in a client script (onsubmit) or in a client side UI action.

g_form.checkMandatory = false;

this will bypass the mandatory check and the form will be submitted.

Be sure to investigate the UI policies and Access Controls for the field.   If it's a UI Policy making the field read only - it may be easier and more efficient to change the UI Policy conditions controlling when the field is read only than writing a new Client Script.

It really depends on what is making the field mandatory.   Is it a client script / ui policy?   Is it a data policy? Dictionary?   If set by the client, then a client script can undo the requirement.   Otherwise, you cannot bypass a mandatory field.
