Hi all

 

I have searched through the forum and havent found exactly what I'm looking for.

 

I have a list created which based off a choice column hides other specific columns, there are also fields hidden to view in edit mode only.

 

I need to make all columns within the full list required. How can I do this as many hidden fields will not have data input. Based off initial choice column.

 

Thanks in advance

Simon

    I just have one question.
    If a field is required but hidden how can a user complete it?

    Anyway if you only want a field to be required in certain modes or based on certain choices then you need to create rules to advise under what circumstances they are required.

    Based on choice selection fields are unhidden.

    So your validation rule would be.

    IsNewMode && choice == "WhatEver" && isNullOrEmpty({Self})
    This way the control is only checked to see if its empty when in the correct mode and the choice is equal to a certain value.
