Siebel – Make MVG Field required

by Prachi Sharma

---

Siebel supports the concept of Multi Valued Fields, or the MVF. These generally relate to fields such as Addresses, or Contacts which may possibly be more than one for a particular Account record. You would generally notice an Inter table which would further store the details.

One of the major problems that pops up is to make these fields Required. This does not work if set at Field level or using the Required User Property for these Multi Value fields.
This can really frustrate the developer.

We can implement this by using the script below. I have tried to set this on a field called, “Dummy Field” for demo:

function BusComp_PreWriteRecord ()
{
var DummyField = this.ActivateField(”Dummy Field”);
DummyField = this.GetFieldValue(”Dummy Field”);

if ((DummyField == “”)||(DummyField == null))
TheApplication().RaiseErrorText(”DummyField is a required field.”);

return (ContinueOperation);
}

Replace Dummy Field name above with your field name, and it should work beautifully.
