hi,

I have just created an application with few fields but mistakingly I have made a couple of them mandatory.

Now I want to make them not-mandatory. Can anyone help me. I went to the app-data type - thought I will be able to uncheck the "Required" checkbox but didn;t get it. Any help ??

thanks

One of these interfaces is used to capture the data. Edit the right one to change this.

This is done on the interface level. Not in the data type.

When I see all the interfaces - I see the following interfaces that refers to my record data named NOC Tracker but none of them allows me to make those 2 fields non-mandatory

    Hi jaideep,
    really not to try blaming you, but did you do do a basic course (for example provided by appian online academy) how to create an interface in Appian?

    Paramter: "required" needs to be deleted or set to false()

    yes no problem. I am doing the course - Certified Appian Developer. Still on my way

    I know how to create an interface... but in this case i am not there yet (I am trying to build something on my own and comitting those mistakes). So until now what I did was

    1) create the application with full application builder feature

    2) while doing that I need to define the fields to build this interface (for eg.) 

    I see the required field here.. mark them required

    3) Later I realised that I need to revert back a couple of field from required to not-required. How do I reach this place again? 

    thx

    go to your interface.
    change to expression mode
    delete the parameter "required: true" of your a!textfield()
