We have several types, where we need to be sure some fields are not empty. It would be great if we can mark fields as required OR create a validation rule if fields are empty (display an error message).

Released today. In the next releases we will make UI less obtrusive in all views [image] February 20, 2025 / police_officer Required Fields, Comments on Whiteboards, Asana integration, some permissions improvements Changelog This release is packed with several…

You could create a formula field that checks for empty fields, and returns a clear message: if(IsEmpty(Name),"❗ Name needed ❗","") You can then also create a view that lists the entities that need attention. OR You could create automation rule(s) that notifies the Created-by person (or Assigned-…

Out of curiosity, what do you think the expected behaviour should be in the case that a user attempts to create/update an entity that does not meet the validation criteria? Should the user be prevented from creating/saving the entity in that state, or should the deficiency be flagged to the user wh…

It should be a validation message to the user. Like all modern crms do.

[image] Chr1sG: Should the user be prevented from creating/saving the entity in that state, or should the deficiency be flagged to the user whilst not preventing them? Yeah validation gets tricky when you have more than one required field on an entity without a defined “submit” action - how d…
