Hello, guys. How are you?
Is there a clean way to control required fields on a reusable element? I have a reusable element inside a form. The form itself will create a datatype (dtA), and the reusable element will create another datatype (dtB - related to “its parent”). So, I created a button on the form that will create dtA and will set a state on the reusable element to create dtB. Since I’m not creating dtB directly, the “this input should not be empty” is irrelevant.
I could make some kind of manual control (in fact, it’s what I’m doing) to check if the inputs are not empty… but that creates a mess and is not very clean.
I appreciate if someone could help me with this one!
Thanks!
If the form is static, one option is to create a property on the reusable using the required inputs - i.e they aren’t empty (y\n) and reference that
Hey @DjackLowCode , thanks for the answer.
If i understood correctly, the ideia is to create a custom state ( yes/no) on the reusable. Then a WF to change the status to YES whenever the input is changed and is not empty. Repeat that for all the required fields…
On the Form Button, put a conditional that, if one of the custom states on the reusable is NO, show an alert… if all are YES, proceed with the WF.
Is that it?
@sylvioavilla - that’s the right idea. You can use the ‘property’ feature on the reusable so that it updates dynamically rather than having to set the custom state every time
Ok, that makes much more sense, lol!
After trying your suggestion I found a cleaner solution.
Inside the reusable I created a Custom Event to Create/Edit the new record.
On the form, I set a WF for the button to first trigger the Custom Event Inside a reusable and then do the next steps. That triggers the required rules within the reusable, preventing the user to save empty fields!
Thanks again @DjackLowCode for your help!
