Disallowing Empty Fields

The No Clear Field n user property disallows setting a field value to an empty value. It must specify the name of a business component field, not enclosed in quotes.

Use the No Clear Field n user property to stop a field from being cleared after it has been populated.

Once the field already has a value, you can change it to another non-empty value, but you cannot save it as blank, if you do the application displays the standard “field is required” message.

This is different from making a field Required, which enforces a value every time the record is saved; No Clear Field n only applies when someone tries to remove an existing value.

Note: Required field must always have a value, while No Clear Field n only stops you from clearing the field after it’s been populated.

You can specify this user property with or without the numeric suffix. For more information, see Numbering Instances of a User Property.
