Making "Change Comment" field mandatory

thiefrplcmnt_ — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 14:59:31 GMT

We want to force users to add a revision comment when a file gets a new version, so we can see a summary at the history of that file. How can we make "Change Comment" field (at the "File Edit" window) as mandatory to force users to write revision comments?

You can override the "document_edit.xhtml" template and make the textarea mandatory by adding the property required="true" to it.

For the red * to appear just change the class on the "td" element around the label

If you made the change to the XHTML file on the running server then the next time the server stops/starts the nuxeo WAR will be redeployed and erase your changes. To make this permanent you need to make a contribution to override the default document_edit.xhtml file.
