05/02/2019, 6:08 PMDo you have any samples for that? I can't seem to find any documentation on it

05/02/2019, 6:09 PMTo kind of go with the discussion above, I find this is one business need that workflows are just simpler to build and maintain that doing in a script... without knowing your specific application. 😉

05/02/2019, 6:10 PMI agree, but i'm having a timing issue

05/02/2019, 6:12 PMThe workflow reads a field value on entry. If there is no field value, it will set the fields to mandatory. However, the issue is the workflow triggers and doesn't see the field value

var obj_email_field = context.newRecord.getField({fieldId: 'email'});
obj_email_field.isMandatory = true;mmoen
05/02/2019, 6:13 PMJust tested that and it works.

05/02/2019, 6:13 PMWe didn't have an example so I just made one.

05/02/2019, 6:15 PMOf course Testing. I try not to role untested code into prod... it works... sometimes
