Dynamically Require Field

Scriptcase 9 General
#1

I have a dependent select field (dependent upon another select above it.) It’s not visible unless it’s actually populated. The database field can be NULL.

I’d like this select field to be required if it’s showing (because it’s populated and there is a possible selection to be made) and NOT required if it isn’t (no choices anyway.) I don’t see any way within the SC interface to dynamically require a field based on some parameter(s).

Any suggestions for how I can do this?

Thanks in advance.

You must do it with code.

onBeforeInsert // onBeforeUpdate


if ({value_of_your_other_dependant_select} > 0) // if your dependant select is filled, then your second select shoyld be visible, and for this reason, required
{
if ({value_of_your_mandatory_select} != 0) {
 sc_error_message("Value of blababla is required");
}
}

Thanks, Giu. I finally got around to trying this out. With some modifications I was able to make it work.
