Title: Drop validation
Post by: bergsj on November 04, 2008, 05:55:35 AM

Hello,

On a string field there is a property on the Validation tab to let the field be required. Why is this functionality not present when this field is a drop-down?

Well, since it's a drop-down it was assumed that only valid values would be possible in the drop down.

However, a couple of folk have pointed out, that adding "extra settings" to the drop-down (typically with instructions like -- Select One -- ) would effectively be an "invalid" setting, even though it is in the drop down itself.

Cheers
Bruce

Indead that's exactly what we are using and therefore need a required function. Obviously we need to do this manually since this is not foreseen in the template at this moment.

Bruce, do you have any suggestions on how to do this practically?

Thanks!
