How to make "Template" field as required  in New Change Notice Window.

This action is available only to Administrators.  You start in the Templates for a Product/Library/Org/Site.

Hi Bhagirath,

You can extend com/ptc/windchill/enterprise/change2/dataUtilities/ChangeNoticeTypePickerDataUtility.java and override the getDataValue method. Just check if the object returned is of type com.ptc.core.components.rendering.guicomponents.ComboBox and if so set it as required using setRequired method.

Out of the box, this class is registered in  codebase/com/ptc/windchill/enterprise/change2/ChangeManagement-components.dataUtilities.properties.xconf

Let me know if this helps.

Hi Bhushan,

Thanks much for your info. Following the above instructions I made the template field as required field.

We have two organizations in the system, is there way two implement this change for only one organization?

Thanks,

Hi Bhagirath,

Using the third parameter modelContext in the getDataValue method you can get the commandbean and using the CreateAndEditWizBean you should be able to get the organization name. Refer below example.

com.ptc.netmarkets.util.beans.NmCommandBean commandBean = mc.getNmCommandBean();
com.ptc.core.components.beans.CreateAndEditWizBean.getContainerRef(commandBean).getContainer().getOrganizationName()
