You might have noticed that now, with
GA (General Availability) communicated by Microsoft, as mushrooms blog posts and tweets are popping up addressing the new things NAV 2015 will bring to us. Look for example
@MVPKine,
Mohana and
waldo. And myself.
As MVP's we have been involved in the road that led to NAV 2015 so we have been seeing (some of these) things in an earlier stage, gotten enthusiastic about them - or maybe not -, but we're tighten by
NDA and had to hold back from
shouting out loud. Clearly the NDA has been lifted and off we went. To be the first to shout, to be able to inform you about what is there (or will be there very soon). I guess there is no plan behind about whom is going to
shout what. So each of us will probably find himself writing something - having been gloating on it already for some time - seeing the other getting away with it.
This happened to me with this specific topic. Clearly
Mohana outpaced me on the
ShowMandatory property. Sh..t.. I mean, congrats, Mohana, But fortunately he left a crumb for me to pick up. Yep, even though I am getting close to 52 I still value crumbs.

Surely if the are essential, like IMHO in the case of the ShowMandatory property.
Complementary to ShowMandatory setting the
NotBlank property to
Yes on a primary key (PK) field will mark the field with a red asterisk on the UI.
Now setting the ShowMandatory to
FALSE in the PK field control on the page will not override the behavior of the NotBlank property that was set to
TRUE.
BTW ...
... the value of show ShowMandatory can be set to
true,
false, or using an expression.
