A few months back I discovered a site that listed nlapiSetFieldMandatory as an undocumented function for SS1.0. Since then I’ve applied that function in numerous client scripts and all have worked beautifully until last week. The function no longer acts as intended but instead puts a red * next to the field but does not actually make it mandatory. The forms will submit without validating the fields I set mandatory. I submitted a case about this and the response I received said to use nlapiGetField and .setMandatory(true) in a user event script. So I gave that a shot and still no luck.

I could try to use workflows to accomplish what I want – but my code sets fields mandatory and not mandatory depending on a lot of logic. Due to the limits with workflows, I can’t accomplish the same type of dynamic changes I was once able to do with a client script.

I’m new to scripting and can only manage to create functioning client and user event scripts. If what I want done can be done via suitelets or restlets, could I get some guidance?

Has anyone else encountered this same issue?

Thanks

Hi,

Yes its a long time issue already, and its still not working. Workaround for this, is to create a save validation in client script for the field you need to be mandatory.

Thanks.
