Mandatory Fields

You can set a field as mandatory in one of the following ways according to your business requirements:

In the business object layer (BOL)
You can use the GenIL Model Editor to define a mandatory field in the object model. The property from the BOL is made available on the user interface (UI).
In the application by implementing a property getter (P-getter) method
Implement the following P-getter that evaluates the property IF_BSP_WD_MODEL_SETTER~FP_INPUT_MANDATORY and return ABAP_TRUE if the field is to be mandatory:
Syntax
1. ```
METHOD GET_P_EMPLFULLNAME.
```
2. ```
CASE iv_property.
```
3. ```
WHEN if_bsp_wd_model_setter_getter~fp_input_mandatory.
```
4. ```
IF gv_display_mode = abap_true.
```
5. ```
rv_value = ABAP_FALSE.
```
6. ```
ELSE.
```
7. ```
rv_value = ABAP_TRUE.
```
8. ```
ENDIF.
```
9. ```
ENDCASE.
```
10. ```
ENDMETHOD.
```
End of the code.
In the view configuration
In the UI Configuration Tool, you can define a field as mandatory. If you make this setting in a layer, you cannot override it in the next layer above it. For this reason, mandatory fields are marked with an asterisk (*) as part of the label for editable input fields. If the field is left empty, a red frame is displayed around the field and you cannot save or process your data.
