Hi Amit,

Please find below screen shot, you need to enable the mandatory field YES

Once you done yes save and compile the form. If user not entered the item group it allow to save the record.

If you want the field mandatory in all places in AX, set it as mandatory at table field level. If you want a validation in that one form only, add it to validateWrite() on the data source (see Methods on a Form Data Source if you want to learn about other useful methods).

Thanks guys I got that to do.

Now I am facing another issue. I have 2 fields, when I fill data in one field another field should also get populated with that same value.

Can anyone suggest me.

Thanks and regards,

Amit.

Your question is not related to the thread (“How to make field mandatory…”) which is even already answered, therefore you should create a new thread.

Just very briefly: You can use modifiedField() method on table, for instance.
