Sorry if this was posted somewhere but I did a search and did not find it. Is there a way to make a field mandatory depending on a value of another field? For example we have a certain case status that if selected, we need to have another field be mandatory which normally it might not need to be filled out all the time. I am guessing there is a workflow that can do this, but not having luck finding this information.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, I would use a workflow. Should be fairly easy to set up, if you’ve done basic workflows before.

So is this possible for a transaction column field? I am looking to do this for line items also for expenses, and I am not seeing the fields in there for it.

The Transaction Column would be within the Transaction line so no. You would need custom scripting to enforce the requirement if its conditional.

Not using a workflow. You’ll have to write a script and probably use a validateLine function to make sure there’s a value in the transaction column field that you want to make mandatory.

You can create multiple layers of dependencies using custom records as well. See this SuiteAnswer for an example – https://netsuite.custhelp.com/app/an…ndent%20fields

Ah yeah correct, as carl.billings said, workflows limit you to only using / referencing main/body-level fields. For transaction line / column fields, you likely need to leverage a script.
