Question

Since nobody has answered, it is possible that there isn't a way to do it, or maybe I didn't fully describe my question. So lets have another stab at it.

How do I make a required field for a form?

I can define a form like:

Name Type Size Values Tooltip Message
ProductRevision select 10 -- select --, 4.0.3, 4.0.4, 4.0.5 Must select product version

However is there any way (as on the registration form) to refuse the save if the value of the ProductRevision field is "-- select --".

I am pulling some of these requirements from the forms support in elog.

Maybe a required column in the form definition?

Answer

Required fields are currently not supported for forms. This is one of the Codev.FormTemplateFutureIdeas as you described.
