Greetings!
To Do: On my custom module "UT_Blogs" I will mark "Description" field required if status of My Blog Post is Publish.
Step 1: Check if you have a file named view.edit.php under custom/modules/<desired_module>/views folder.
Check if you have a file named view.edit.php under modules/<desired_module>/views folder.
Read the comments in code carefully and replace the variables as asked.
P.S. Here, <desired_module> means the module name you see in the url, for example, Contacts, Leads, UT_Blogs, etc.
You may find the field names and its labels in Admin > Studio > <Your_module> > Fields > <Choose correct field> > Take Field Name and System Label.
Step 3: Done! Refresh the page and start testing.

Step 1: Check if you have a file named view.edit.php under custom/modules/<desired_module>/views folder.
- If you have, skip to Step 2.
- If you do not have, like me, follow..
Check if you have a file named view.edit.php under modules/<desired_module>/views folder.
- If you have, copy that file and paste under custom/modules/<desired_module>/views folder and skip to Step 2.
- If you do not have it, create a file named view.edit.php under custom/modules/<desired_module>/views folder.

Here is a special mention about custom module: if you have a custom module, we prefer to create/change the file under modules/<my_custom_module>/views

Works with 6.5+ Versions as here we have used jQuery, but can easily changed to work with just Javascript for < 6.5 versions. Compatible with all SugarCRM flavors.

Posted by Mustafa Taheri| Friday, 25 August 2017Thanx for an awesm post this helped me a lot. But just facing an small issue its not working in subpanels nor in Quick create. Will you please help me..?? The code is exactly as above only module name and fields are changed.
Posted by Gaurav Aggarwal| Friday, 16 June 2017Thankyou so much for this lovely post. However i used it differently i used addToValidate() function in my js file and just because of your post i was able to do it just with 2 lines. Thanks again.
Also, I have to ask one thing by using this function i am able to set required to particular field on run time but when i save the form and re-edit it the field is filled but not required as page is refreshed. So, is there any workaround for it so the field should remain required after i save the form.Post your comment
This is so helpful. (Y)
