Mandatory fields

[Yoshiki_Kuraki]

I want to set some fields mandatory so our team members do not forget to input.
For example, customer’s name should be mandatory for a project management but some members forget to input it. The image is that if a mandatory field is blank, users are requested to input the field otherwise the new record is not created.

Upvote! This is a really needed feature for a CMS. Without some fields a site would never be built so I have to indicate which fields are required.

Major upvote - would be extremely helpful for data quality especially for larger bases with many contributors.

+1 having issues without this feature

Yes, mandatory fields and other field validation options would be very welcome in Airtable.

Below is a screenshot from Apple’s FileMaker database program. Each field has all of these validation options to choose from, plus you can custom-create your own field validations as well!

Please be sure to email support@airtable.com with your suggestions & feature requests, because they don’t pay much attention to our forum posts here.

Another upvote! This needs to be a feature!

Hi Airtable, this request is out there since Nov 2016, may be even earlier. Absolute minimum requirement to ensure database intigrity. Why does it takes so long to make this happen. :face_with_head_bandage:

AGREE - this is a must

[Kevin_Marshall]

Who makes a database application that you can’t make required fields?

[Abraham_Bochner]

Please count me in for Data Validation, it’s more important than any other feature which was released lately

Why doesn’t Airtable reply? Everyone needs this feature.
