Awesome!

There were so many of you that gave helpful replies - thank you guys. You are what make this forum great. With so many good responses I wasn’t sure which to mark as the solution, but I think @Rich solved the issue in a manner that was closest to what I was originally asking. So I have marked his as the solution.

Thanks everyone!

Yep, I think the limitation most of us have, many of us are on-prem and we assume that Epicor SaaS runs the same like on-prem. Which is false, because you guys have a tighter sandbox due to security.

And remember, all SaaS products are not the same. Only Multi-Tenant users have these kinds of restrictions. Single Tenant and Public Cloud (Dedicated Tenant) do not have those restrictions because we don’t share a database with other users like MT does.

I would avoid using code for these unless the dataset isn’t available from a single table in a BO. EpiCombos are amazing for this. What @timshuwy states makes it even easier (unless you use SaaS, then it is a little more manual).

I’m trying to use this same trick to make certain columns required ex:

edvUD40View.dataView.Table.Columns["ShortChar03"].ExtendedProperties["Required"] = true;

But its not working. Does this trick only work for the UDCode property?

the best way to make a column required is in extended properties (the overall one) if you want it required everywhere.

That entire window / module is off limits because of our licences (Cloud) - otherwise I would do that.

bummer…

The code pattern I provided works fine for Extended Properties that are applied to the Client. The “Required” property has mixed usage - on the UI it is used for the Visual “required” field indicator and on the Server it is used as part of the Business Rules validations.

For the MT SaaS environment access to the Extended Property maintenance is restricted as those properties are applied System Wide instead of being scoped to the Company / Tenancy. Best you can do for “Required” in MT SaaS is apply it in BPM.

Ok, thanks. Do you know if/when we get moved to the Azure public cloud will we be able to use the full set of Extended Properties?

You will need to verify with the SaaS team but my understanding is that the hosted DT customers do have access to the Extended Properties UI and associated functionality.
