Define a Field as Required Using Field Sets

You can define a field as required when you create or edit field sets. You may want to define a field as required to ensure a user enters the necessary information on a field.

Required Editions

Available in: Salesforce Classic
Available in: Group, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions
User Permissions Needed
To create, edit, and delete field sets: Customize Application or be a delegated administrator

The required field is only available in the In the Field Set container. If you define a field as required in the In the Field Set container, and remove the field from the In the Field Set, the required attribute is removed.

Note
Note If you remove fields that were made required by an installed managed package from the In the Field Set container, the required attribute isn’t removed from those fields.

To define a field as required in a field set, see Creating and Editing Field Sets.
