Make metadata fields requried based on value in another metadata field -1546524751

Is it possible to do something like this?

A customer asks if it is possible if "department 1" selects "department 1" in a select list the metadata fields A, B and C are requried and if "department 2" selects department 2 in a select list the metadata fields X, Y and Z are required.

The two methods are available - each has its benefits.

SQL trigger is not available for Docwuare Online, but can be used with any version of Docuware and requires a very basic INSERT trigger with RAISERROR command.

Examples of Validation available here:https://github.com/DocuWare/Validation-NodeJS-samples. - this requires some development effort and for your Docuware be 6.12 or higher, but can be used with both Docuware Online and OnPremise.

Just a note on using database triggers. During an upgrade of DocuWare the database tables are quite often recreated. Any trigger in the system will cause problems during the upgrade as the triggers is fired during the re-writing of the tables. So it is important to remember to disable all custom triggers before upgrading, and then re-establish them afterwards.
