Hi Mark,

The two jsps of check in wizard are

Windchill\codebase\netmarkets\jsp\wip\format_content_holder_checkin_step.jsp

and

Windchill\codebase\netmarkets\jsp\wip\non_format_content_holder_checkin_step.jsp

the textarea for putting comment <textarea wrap name="comment" id="comment" cols="53" rows="5"></textarea>

May be using javascript you can force user to make check in comments

Thanks and Regard,

Kaushik

    You can use CSS .

    class="required "

    <textarea wrap name="comment" id="comment" cols="53" rows="5" class="required "></textarea>

      Hi there,

      I had the same problem.

      How to force comments during "Check In" to PTC Windchill (Essentials)?

      Solved by some tweaks in javascript.

      Unfortunately, this does not work with auto-check-in.

      Cheers

      Matthias

        Is there a way to prevent auto check-in (Creo File Menu action)?

        I am afraid there is no way to deactivate auto checkin. Maybe in Creo 4 or 5.
