Coming Soon: On April 2nd, all Suggestion Boxes will be migrating to The Network, Trimble's online user community. Your posts, votes, comments, and user accounts will transfer. This site will become read-only after the migration, and this banner will have a link to the new location for Vista suggestions.

Allow standard validations on any field

When creating custom forms or modifying validation on existing fields, we would like the ability to use validation that currently is implemented. For example, in Vista there is JCCo and Contract that get validated anywhere. It would be nice for us to set where we want it validated.

    Unfortunately, can't change the F4 lookup on procedure.

    You CAN use the existing validations, you just have to figure out the name, and reverse engineer what variables are being passed to the procedure. Check out the 'Property Values' tab on an existing field with the validation, and scroll to somewhere near the bottom.

    It's also a little risky, as they might change their own validation procedure. I usually make my own copy of their validation procedure, modify my copy if needed, and then use it.
