[DONE] Form View and required fields

[B_Sp]

The Required Fields aspect of this request is becoming a greater need for my team. We are using liberally multiple Rich Text fields (which is great you can build entities with as many of these as you’d like!), and some are required. But it’s hard for my team to remember to fill them out.

I wanted to add to this just so it’s clear another good post about the need which is in another request - invoking a Fibery-esque transposing of that:

@chris.burchartz

@ChrisSparkT

ability to use “is empty” and “is not empty” on rich text fields to allow this across all entity content.

We’ll definitely need:

• Mandatory fields (with highlighting of insufficiently filled fields)
• Denying “saving” of an entity, if mandatory fields have not been sufficiently filled
• Color-coding of fields (following customizable rules)

All of this is of course quite complex for a proper implementation
But: Yeah - we’ll need this stuff to calm our tortured souls

Cheers, Chris

which incidentally uses the cool “quote” feature here in Discourse… that @Oshyan suggested might be useful to see come over to Fibery, too:

@Oshyan

That said, I have another idea that I’ve recently found great value in as I work more with Discourse, and would probably help with your need as well (though you may prefer the “extended” quoting as you describe). And that is: quotes but with a button you can click to expand the displayed quote in-line . This is a brilliant feature of Discourse that I only recently noticed, and I wish more apps that are doing quoting and linking, etc. had this. Give it a try if you aren’t familiar, it’ll show up in the text I quoted from you above!
