Dynamic View Logic for Required Fields

✭✭✭✭
edited 11/15/24 in Add Ons and Integrations

Hi there! I have a dynamic view created for Event Approvers to go in an Approve or Decline events. Depending on whether they approver or decline an event, I'd like different fields to show in the details panel as required in order to save the approval status update. However, the fields are only showing up as required after the approval status has already been saved.

Is there a way to require select fields before they save the approval status (i.e., the same way your allowed to require field based off of parent drop-down selections in a form submission)?

Thank you in advance!

    Unfortunately, no: the data doesn't technically exist until you click "Save" on the Dynamic View - since the data aren't saved yet, you can't make actions dependent on those updated data points (because again, they don't yet technically exist). You might try using a combination of an approval request automation and update request automations to accomplish a similar end. Alternately, you can use an approval request to send a notification that provides one of two Dynamic View links depending on whether an item is approved or declined.

    If this answer resolves your question, please help the Community by marking it as an accepted answer. I'd also be grateful for your response - "Insightful"or "Awesome" reactions are much appreciated. Thanks!
