Making Lookup/picker a required field #10163

Hi,

We are using the ASP Net Zero lookup:

I can see in the code it is essentially a disabled text box that shows the selection of the picker:

Is there any way to make the control required? i.e. a selection must be made. At the moment adding required to the input does not work because it is disabled. And we want to keep it disabled because we only want the text set from the picker.

Any ideas? Cheers

    Hi @Astech

    Is this an auto-generated code block by Power Tools ? If not, you can add required attribute to the input element, so it will be validated when user submits the form.

    If it is Power Tools generated, then not-selecting Nullable on the Power Tool should make the field required.

    Hi @ismcagdas

    Thanks for your reply.

    Unfortunately this does not work. The input is disabled and when disabled it also disables the required attribute.

    Hi ismcagdas,

    I have found a workaround which is to mark the field as readonly instead of disabled. This then allows the required attribute work.

    Thanks
