> Summary: #2173 - Mandatory fields  
> We’d like to be able to define some mandatory fields for Infolog task record for some actions upon the task.

Example 1: Someone is creating a task. Automatically, the fields “Cathegory”, “Subject”, “Due date” and perhaps some user-defined fields, are mandatory. If user clicks on Save, and some of the fields are not dealed with properly, the window would just show red warning, that certain fields are not filled, and would keep open (such as in Tracker)

## Example 2: Someone has marked the task as “Done” and clicks on Save. The program would check, whether the “Projectmanager” \> “Duration” is set. If not, warning is displayed and window would not close, until the Projectmanager \> Duration field is filled…

> Dear EGroupware user,

thanks for reporting feature requests to [egroupware.org](http://egroupware.org).

With the new release of EGroupware 1.8.001 we implemented many new features. So we kindly ask you to recheck your feature request against the new version. If it is still valid, please reopen it with the current version 1.8.001.

If you do not respond within the next 14 days, we assume the request is no longer necessary and it will be closed automatically.

Thanks for your understanding
