Amplify’s Required Fields Manager can make a selected field mandatory in a data-entry workflow. Add a rule only when your team has agreed how that information will be collected and maintained.
Before adding a rule
- Confirm that you have administration permission for this setting.
- Choose the entity and field, and write down why the value is required.
- Consider existing records that may not have a value yet.
- Check whether the rule affects an import, manual form or later edit process.
Add and test the rule
- Open Required Fields Manager in Amplify.
- Select Add, then choose the entity and field.
- Save the rule.
- With a disposable test record, leave the field blank and try to save. Confirm a clear validation message appears and the incomplete record is not saved.
- Enter a valid value, save and reopen the record to check persistence.
- Try editing an older record with that field blank so you understand the effect on existing data.
Change or remove a rule
If the rule no longer fits the workflow, use the manager’s available deactivate or edit action. Test the affected form again and tell users what changed. Removing a requirement should not itself delete values from existing records.
