Set Field Required Action
Use the Set Field Required action to set whether a record form field is mandatory or not. Required fields in NetSuite appear with an orange asterisk next to the field name. For more information about executing the action dynamically if the record meets certain conditions, see Using Conditional Fields with Actions.
Workflow definitions require a trigger configuration that initiates the workflow, executes an action within a workflow or transitions the workflow from one state to another.

For more information about which workflow triggers the Set Field Required action supports, see Workflow Triggers Quick Reference.

To understand when different workflow triggers execute and which trigger you should use, see Workflow Triggers and the SuiteFlow Trigger Execution Model.

Set Field Required Action Guidelines
If you use the Set Field Required action on a box field, NetSuite does not make the field required on the record form when you save the record.
