How to make the field "Account Name" optional in the Cases module?

Question

Hi

So can I make account_name optional but it´s a relationship, not an actual field:

I don´t seem to be able to do so with Vardefs extension (unless I´m having cache problems) in the /var/www/<sugar_folder_name>/custom/modules/Cases/Ext/Vardefs folder:

?php

$dictionary['Case']['fields']['account_name']['required'] = false;

?>

Any ideas?

Thanks,

KGM

Hi Kristjan Geir Mathiesen `, as we figured out tonight, reversing the logic of this kb article ( http://support.sugarcrm.com/Documentation/Sugar_Developer/Sugar_Developer_Guide_7.9/User_Interface/Views/Removing_the_Ac… ) will do the trick: 1. deactivating the accounts = required option in config_override.php, then adding the vardef extention to /var/www//custom/modules//Ext/Vardefs for each module that we want to still have the account required. Works like a charm! :-) Bests Björn Canales Pfisterer Technical Support Manager provalida GmbH
