Mandatory fields and write protection

Make required values visible and mandatory, and protect fields intended for reference only.

How it works

Mandatory fields are highlighted and checked on Apply. Read-only displays information without allowing editing; visibility rules can show fields only when they are relevant.

Strict blocks Apply if rules are violated. Relax with dialog lets users override after a dialog. Always relaxed writes valid, edited values without being blocked by rules.

The rule mode can be set separately for individual components and multi-select in the shared configuration. Mandatory overrides an allowed blank list option.

Use case

When specific metadata must be completed before being passed on, or when reference information needs to be displayed without allowing changes.

Typical benefits

  • Missing metadata detected during editing
  • Reference values protected against unintended changes
  • A shared level of control for different editing needs
