Hi,

A field can be set as required, but a relationship between types how can it be set as required?
For example, I have 1 relationship between the "Manufacturers" type and the "Printers" type, when I add a printer I would like it to be mandatory to indicate a manufacturer.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Hi Francisco

This is another thing that would make a reasonable feature request (there is no such option currently available), but in this case you could add a snippet of JavaScript to add the "required" attribute to the select input so that the built-in browser validation would indicate that the field was required (screenshot).

I'm assuming you are using a front-end form to add the posts.

In that case you also have the option of performing custom server-side validation, using the cred_form_validate filter: https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/cred-api/#cred_form_validate

Hi Nigel,

No, I am using the dashboard.
It's a website for other people and I don't want them to make mistakes and this is a hole. 🙁
It is a pity that you have not taken it into account.
It is something you should have yes or yes.

Thanks for your help.

In this case there is not much that can be done as a workaround.

There is no equivalent validation filter for the back-end, and it's not possible to add a required attribute to the select dropdown for the parent because, until you press the button to add or connect a related post, there is no dropdown.

I see that you have already submitted the request, and I'll mention it to the developers at our daily meeting to encourage them to implement it soon.
