The following screenshot shows an example that illustrates the required field indicator is the same on the small form factor as it is on medium and larger form factors. The Absence Name and Start Date fields are required fields and the required field asterisk appears to the left of the label for each of these fields.
The screenshots below show how a series of missed required fields is displayed to the user when all of the missed field errors are processed together at save time. Rather than a series of required field error messages that are displayed as the user tabs out of the field, a single message that groups together all of the missed required fields is shown when the transaction is saved. When the error message is dismissed, a red exclamation point icon is shown next to each missed required field indicating to the user the fields that need to be corrected:
Summary: Using an asterisk to mark required fields is an easy way to improve the usability of your forms. Only marking optional fields makes it difficult for people to fill out the form.
Often designers feel that the having a marker for every single required field is repetitive, ugly, takes too much space, and, with longer forms, may even seem oppressive (the form requires so much from the user!). So, they usually adopt one or both of the following strategies:
Should the asterisk precede or follow the field label? That is unlikely to make a practical difference, but one reason to put it just before the field description is to help the eyes easily locate which fields are required by scanning just the left-most character of the label.
Forms are no fun. They require users to do a lot of work. In fact, many forms end up being abandoned because filling them is too hard or too tedious. To increase the chance that your form will get completed, minimize the effort that your users will have to put in and the information that they need to remember. There are many aspects that contribute to these, but marking the required fields (and, optionally, the optional ones) is an easy one to address.
After this article was published, we received a few questions about the accessibility of the asterisk as a required-field marker. In HTML 5, it is possible to add markup to the form field to instruct screen readers to say the word "required" whenever they encounter an asterisk next to the field label.
The fact that the element is required is often visually presented (via a text or non-text symbol, or text indicating input is required or color / styling) but this is not programmatically determinable as part of the field's name.
The WAI-ARIA aria-required property indicates that user input is required before submission. The aria-required property can have values of "true" or "false". For example, if a user must fill in an address field, then aria-required is set to "true".
Required fields are indicated by a red border around the fields and a star icon rendered via CSS using content:before. This example also uses custom radio buttons with role=radio but the script to make the span actually work like radio buttons is not included in this example. The CSS properties are available below the form.
The following example shows an XHTML document using the aria-required property to indicate that a form field must be submitted. The mandatory nature of the field is also indicated in the label as a fallback for user agents that do not support WAI-ARIA.
When you make a field required, people must enter an answer to the field in order to submit their entry. When someone tries to submit an entry without filling out a required field, we highlight the problematic fields and display an error message to let them know the field is required.
The required modifier indicates that the field or property it's applied to must be initialized by an object initializer. Any expression that initializes a new instance of the type must initialize all required members. The required modifier is available beginning with C# 11. The required modifier enables developers to create types where properties or fields must be properly initialized, yet still allow initialization using object initializers. Several rules ensure this behavior:
Some types, such as positional records, use a primary constructor to initialize positional properties. If any of those properties include the required modifier, the primary constructor adds the SetsRequiredMembers attribute. This indicates that the primary constructor initializes all required members. You can write your own constructor with the System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SetsRequiredMembersAttribute attribute. However, the compiler doesn't verify that these constructors do initialize all required members. Rather, the attribute asserts to the compiler that the constructor does initialize all required members. The SetsRequiredMembers attribute adds these rules to constructors:
In some instances, when attempting to delete a field from an attribute table, the Delete Field option is disabled. Attempts to delete the field using the Delete Field tool return the following error message:
As a workaround, export the attribute table using the Feature Class To Feature Class tool, and remove the desired field in the Field Map (optional) section. Complete the steps below to do so:
This is because there's no direct link to a Request Form here, which is only available via the Portal. For this option, all fields would need to be on the Form itself, which is not possible with attachments as there's no form field for it.
I'd look for feature requests to vote for which are relevant to fields you need on Forms, such as allowing for attachments (see JSDCLOUD-10707 ) - to avoid the need to split fields between Request Form, and the additional Form.
A workaround to this is to make the field not required in the request form, but use a field validator in the workflow. In my case we are sharing workflows across projects, so using JMWE I set a conditional field validator based on specific projects.
After reviewing these questions, if you feel the Field should be Universally Required, then go ahead and check the box. However, if it should only be required in some cases, consider making it mandatory only on your Page Layouts.
I can make conditional fields work in a form and force agents to fill out the fields when submitting a new ticket, But this doesn't work in a case that ticket has been created in another form and changed to the form ( with conditional fields) Any recommendation?
You can make use of a notification trigger that will fire when your agents were not able to fill out the required conditional fields upon updating the form from one without conditional fields to one with conditional fields.
If the ticket has been updated, AND the form has been changed to Default Ticket Form, AND Priority OR Complexity OR Store ID field has not been filled out (-), THEN assign the ticket to the agent who updated the ticket AND notify the agent via email with the following email subject & email body (You can use freehand for the email subject and body).
Select the field and then select Required on solve. Then based on your conditional fields, it will pop open the next field(s) for the user to fill out. Make sure you mark those as required on solve from within conditional fields app, not at the field level.
Just to clarify, this is all for Agents / Light agents filling out tickets within the Agent GUI - not for end users - these are internal only tickets that I need to have required fields in - will this still work?
Regarding the conditional parent, I found a workaround that seems so obvious im ashamed I didnt realize it sooner, by having important ticket values of the parent be conditional, the only way the agent can even GET to them is by filling out the parent field, sure, they could just leave it blank and add all the info in the subject and description, but by making the conditional info important, they kind of have to fill out the parent field to get though the rest of the ticket. Thanks again for the tips - going to play with them ASAP
I'm attempting to include a required field for agents creating new / open / pending tickets, however, when I go through the settings here, I'm only able to find this screen and no other options for the drop down menu noted above.
when i add condition in from it hides the fields until that condition is met , is there a option where the fields are not hidden and also are required to be filled by agent when they are updating the tickets?
Hi Gaurav Sharma.
Conditional ticket fields would only appear if the conditions were met. If you'd like that the field is not hidden, then I would suggest just adding that ticket field in your form so it won't be hidden. However, ticket fields can only be set as required when solving out the ticket. So if in your workflow that it's required for all the different ticket status updates, I would suggest just sticking with conditional ticket fields.
Almost every Kubernetes object includes two nested object fields that governthe object's configuration: the object spec and the object status.For objects that have a spec, you have to set this when you create the object,providing a description of the characteristics you want the resource to have:its desired state.
The precise format of the object spec is different for every Kubernetes object, and containsnested fields specific to that object. The Kubernetes API Referencecan help you find the spec format for all of the objects you can create using Kubernetes.
