How to make a dependent field a required field?

Posted on by HAMM1

Hello,

I'm brand new to using powerapps and I've inherited an app and it has some fields which appear depending on what they choose earlier on.

I want to be able to make these dependent fields, required fields but I'm not sure how to change what is already there under required. I've attached what's already in the field.

Would someone be able to help me?

Thanks!

Hi @HAMM1 ,

You simply need to change the Required to true if they are always required.

@HAMM1 you can either set the required to true if it should always be true. Or add your IF statement/logic in the required field:

Thanks everyone. That field already has something in there because these fields only appear after they've picked 'unsafe condition' earlier. Do I need to amend this formula?

@HAMM1 ,

That is what you asked to do ? If you want to make it required all of the time, just change that to true

Hi @WarrenBelz

Sorry if I'm not clear. I want those fields to appear only when they've chosen 'unsafe condition' and then be mandatory for them to complete.

At the moment, the fields appear after they've chosen 'unsafe condition' but they can submit without filling them in. I want to force them to fill in these fields.

Hi @HAMM1 ,

I assume you are using Patch here as SubmitForm() takes care of this itself (it will not submit). Put this in front of the Save code (add your form name)

If( !YourFormName.Valid, Notify("Fields require completion", Error), Patch( . . . . Your Patch code ) )
