Make pathfield inside multifield mandatory[* to appear against field name in component dialog]

[askdctm]

Hi All,

The dialog structure  I am having is as below:

<multi
                        jcr:primaryType="cq:Widget"
                        fieldDescription=""
                        fieldLabel="label"
            itemId="Field"
                        name="./Path"
                        xtype="multifield">
                        <fieldConfig
                            jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
                            allowBlank="false"
                            limit="{Long}2"
                            xtype="pathfield"/>
                    </multi>

#1] Giving allowBlank="false" in the above doesnt show up * against the field in component dialog.

#2] Tried adding in section for multifield only, but did not help.

#3] Added in both places[in above dialog representation present only at pathfield] , but * doesnt show up against field in component dialog.

Not sure what I am missing. Any thoughts/pointers on this will be helpful.

allowBlank = false will just enable the null check validation. I dont think '*' would appear on the field automatically. We can add '*' along with our label or add a 'description' to the field.

However Let me check if its possible

Hi Lokesh,

Thank you for your reply.

Awaiting your response.

Hi 

As mentioned by Lokesh, "allowBlank = false" only do NULL check.

For adding "*" to indicate it as required field, you can add it in fieldLabel only [Just a Workaround].  I am also waiting for Lokesh to tell me the correct way.

Thanks and Regards

Hi,

In classic UI, "allowBlank=false" doesnt add '*' automatically. 

However in Touch UI if you can use  "required=true" which adds '*' by default. So your use case works OOB in Touch UI.

Hi Lokesh,

It seems required=true is not adding '*' by default.
