Custom mandatory comment in Compensation Form

[MDI8]

Hello,

A client is requesting to create a mandatory comment (displayed as a pop-up free text zone) in compensation form.

The conditions are whenever two custom "string, editable" fields are not empty "New Job" and/or "New Classification" the Planner is asked to justify his entry.

How can I configure this request?

Thank you!!

Hi @MDI8 

forced comments are only available through standard recommendation columns at this time so the exact requirement you are describing cannot be met.

You could however look at building a Hard stop using custom validations to prevent a Save (but it wouldn't come with comments). example here.

All the best

To add on to Xavier's solution above - the only way you could allow for comments would be for them to be from a list and not be free text. That way you could perform logic on your default value such as "None Selected" or "Not Applicable" or whatever you choose as a default. The only way to accomplish it would be by combining the hard stop with an enumerated list where the values are predictable and issue an error if a comment is not selected.
