Buisness required ignored by patch

Posted on by SLMR 518 Moderator

Hello,

i have set different columns of a table to business required in dataverse.

 

Anyway when testing an app data where i add data by patch i recognize that i was still able to enter data even when the column was left blank.

 

I though business required is comparebale to "not null" in sql server.

Is there a way make sure that null can not be entered at all in column direct on database level?

    Hi @SLMR ,

     

    In my test, it will report an error when using patch when the column was left blank.

    This may be caused by out-of-sync, please try adding the data source again.

    Of course, you can also add conditions when designing the app.

    Thanks for your quick answer.

    If i do not use the field in the patch, than i get an error.

    But if the value (in my case a lookup column) is left blank, than it does not give an error.

    I catched this problem on app level now.

     

    But it would be nice to have a possibility to make a column mandatory.

    If go directly in the table (backend) i can also enter datasets without filling the "business required" fields.

     

    So there is no equivalent for "not null" (sql server)?

     

    Kind regards,

    Mikko
