make session properties mandatory

Hello,
I will add this to our todo list. We will have to think how we could do that and keep the UI simple. Perhaps we could add some rules instead of using the checkbox everywhere.

Regards

The checkboxes seem logical. But maybe only make them appear if you are editing a template, or the default entry properties. That way, most people will never see them.

Or, when editing templates / default entries you can have a separate button that says something like 'edit mandatory fields' and then you can have a list of fields that you can move to the left or right and make them mandatory or not.

Here are some ideas. (attached)

in the mean time, is there any database flag we can set to make particular fields required temporarily while you guys work on this?
the first 2 fields mentioned (name and host) are already mandatory so there is already some kind of check somewhere to make sure those fields have values, is there anything we can hack together in the interim?

Unfortunately nothing for now.

Regards

any updates on this feature request?

any updates on this request?

Hello,
It still on our todo list. I have increased the priority since we have released RDM 2020.2 and we can start to organize the next update.

Regards

Hello,

This feature has been implemented and will be available with the 2020.3 update.

Mandatory properties will be configurable in the template settings.

For now, they will only be enforced at the entry creation. A user could go back to edit the entry and clear those properties.

Also, only the 4 properties you mentioned are available at the moment, but we will add more if there are requests for others.

Hello,

it would be great to have the feature also availible for the custom variables.

Hello Sascha,

I assume you mean the Custom Fields ? If so, we will definitely add these too.

Regards

Hello,

This feature will also be available for custom fields in version 2020.3.2.0.

Hello, it would be nice if some other fields also can be configured as mandatory property in a template:

• Name (to configure a minimum length)
• Username
• Password
• Version (Asset)
• Home page (Management Tools)
• Tags (maybe require a minimum tags)

This can be helpful to add needed information when adding an entry via template.

Hello,

We will be looking into adding these when we can. I've opened a ticket.

Regards,

Hi,

We have added several new fields internally. They should be available starting with version 2022.2.0.0
As of now we chose not to add the "username" and "password" fields since they are harder to implement, but we will consider them for future updates.

Regards,
