Is it possible to make placeholders/fields required upon save?

I imagine this would include customizing the save event. Can I get the
original code or that so I can just add mine to it?

Hi Punisher,

there are multiple different options to achieve this:
- a custom save action
- a custom validator control that checks the placeholder content

Cheers,
Stefan.

I wound up using your client-side validation control and it's working great.
However, the customer is wanting a validation that checks 2 controls. One of
the controls must have data. So basically the 2 controls combine are
required but one of them can be empty as long as the other has data.

I've been brainstorming different ideas with my team and we can't think of a
good solution for this.

Hi Punisher,

The easiest way to achieve this would be a custom console action which does
the check on the client side.
Means before calling the base action check using Javascript if the
placeholder controls contain content.

Cheers,
Stefan.

Ok, I thought about that, but the problem I had is how would the method know
which controls to check? How would it get access to them to check them?

I mean, the solution sounds easy, but doing it is proving to be difficult.
Maybe I need more coffee.

Hi Punisher,

store the info in one or a couple of form fields (e.g.)

Cheers,
Stefan.
