AI Summary

  • The red asterisk next to a field in Business Central indicates that the field is required for a certain process.
  • The red asterisk serves as a reminder but does not enforce mandatory data entry like in other systems.
  • Users can save data without filling out fields marked with a red asterisk in Business Central.
  • The red asterisk is added via the ShowMandatory Property and NotBlank Property, only for primary fields.
  • Making fields mandatory in Business Central requires development, such as using Record.TestField(Any, Code) Method or NotBlank Property.
  • The NotBlank Property can be used with the InitValue Property to ensure an entry is made in a field.
  • Validation for the NotBlank property occurs only if the field or control value is updated through the UI.
  • It is important to communicate to customers that the red asterisk is a reminder, not a true required field, especially during the testing phase.
