How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

2. Th e Tig er Kin g
THE Maharaja of Pratibandapuram
is the hero of this story. He may
be identified as His Highness
Jamedar-General, Khiledar-Major,
Sata Vyaghra Samhari,
Maharajadhiraja Visva Bhuvana
Samrat, Sir Jilani Jung Jung
Bahadur, M.A.D., A.C.T.C., or
C.R.C.K. But this name is often
shortened to the Tiger King.
I have come forward to tell you why
he came to be known as Tiger
King. I have no intention of
pretending to advance only to
end in a strategic withdrawal.
Even the threat of a Stuka
bomber will not throw me off
track. The Stuka, if it likes, can
beat a hasty retreat from my
story.
3. Right at the start, it is imperative to disclose a
matter of vital importance about the Tiger
King. Everyone who reads of him will
experience the natural desire to meet a
man of his indomitable courage face-to-
face. But there is no chance of its fulfilment.
As Bharata said to Rama about Dasaratha,
the Tiger King has reached that final abode
of all living creatures. In other words, the
Tiger King is dead. The manner of his death
is a matter of extraordinary interest. It can
be revealed only at the end of the tale. The
most fantastic aspect of his demise was that
as soon as he was born, astrologers had
foretold that one day the Tiger King would
actually have to die.
“The child will grow up to become the warrior
of warriors, hero of heroes, champion of
champions. But...” they bit their lips and
swallowed hard. When compelled to
continue, the astrologers came out with it.
“This is a secret which should not be
revealed at all. And yet we are forced to
speak out. The child born under this star
will one day have to meet its death.”
4. At that very moment a great miracle
took place. An astonishing phrase
emerged from the lips of the ten-
dayold Jilani Jung Jung Bahadur, “O
wise prophets!’’
Everyone stood transfixed in
stupefaction. They looked wildly at
each other and blinked.
‘‘O wise prophets! It was I who spoke.’
This time there were no grounds for
doubt. It was the infant born just ten
days ago who had enunciated the
words so clearly.
The chief astrologer took off his
spectacles and gazed intently at the
baby.
‘‘All those who are born will one day
have to die. We don’t need your
predictions to know that. There
would be some sense in it if you
could tell us the manner of that
death,’’ the royal infant uttered these
words in his little squeaky voice.
5. The chief astrologer placed his finger on his
nose in wonder. A baby barely ten days old
opens its lips in speech! Not only that, it
also raises intelligent questions! Incredible!
Rather like the bulletins issued by the war
office, than facts.
The chief astrologer took his finger off his nose
and fixed his eyes upon the little prince.
‘‘The prince was born in the hour of the Bull.
The Bull and the Tiger are enemies,
therefore, death comes from the Tiger,’’ he
explained,
You may think that crown prince Jung Jung
Bahadur was thrown into a quake when he
heard the word ‘Tiger’. That was exactly
what did not happen. As soon as he heard
it pronounced, the crown prince gave a
deep growl. Terrifying words emerged from
his lips.
‘‘Let tigers beware!’’
This account is only a rumour rife in
Pratibandapuram. But with hindsight we
may conclude it was based on some truth.
6. Part II
Crown prince Jung Jung Bahadur
grew taller and stronger day by
day. No other miracle marked his
childhood days apart from the
event already described. The boy
drank the milk of an English cow,
was brought up by an English
nanny, tutored in English by an
Englishman, saw nothing but
English films — exactly as the
crown princes of all the other
Indian states did. When he came
of age at twenty, the State, which
had been with the Court of Wards
until then, came into his hands.
But everyone in the kingdom
remembered the astrologer’s
prediction. Many continued to
discuss the matter. Slowly it came
to the Maharaja’s ears
7. There were innumerable forests in the Pratibandapuram State. They had tigers
in them. The Maharaja knew the old saying, ‘You may kill even a cow in self-
defence’. There could certainly be no objection to killing tigers in self-
defence. The Maharaja started out on a tiger hunt.
The Maharaja was thrilled beyond measure when he killed his first tiger. He
sent for the State astrologer and showed him the dead beast.
‘‘What do you say now?’’ he demanded.
‘‘Your majesty may kill ninety-nine tigers in exactly the same manner. But...’’
the astrologer drawled.
‘‘But what? Speak without fear.’’ “But you must be very careful with the
hundredth tiger.”
‘‘What if the hundredth tiger were also killed?’’
‘‘Then I will tear up all my books on astrology, set fire to them, and…’’ ‘‘And…’”
‘‘I shall cut off my tuft, crop my hair short and become an insurance agent,’’ the
astrologer finished on an incoherent note.
8. Part III
From that day onwards it was
celebration time for all the tigers
inhabiting Pratibandapuram.
The State banned tiger hunting by
anyone except the Maharaja. A
proclamation was issued to the
effect that if anyone dared to
fling so much as a stone at a tiger,
all his wealth and property would
be confiscated.
The Maharaja vowed he would
attend to all other matters only
after killing the hundred tigers.
Initially the king seemed well set
to realise his ambition.
Not that he faced no dangers. There
were times when the bullet
missed its mark, the tiger leapt
upon him and he fought the beast
with his bare hands. Each time it
was the Maharaja who won.
9. At another time he was in danger of losing
his throne. A high-ranking British
officer visited Pratibandapuram. He
was very fond of hunting tigers. And
fonder of being photographed with the
tigers he had shot. As usual, he wished
to hunt tigers in Pratibandapuram. But
the Maharaja was firm in his resolve.
He refused permission. ‘‘I can organise
any other hunt. You may go on a boar
hunt. You may conduct a mouse hunt.
We are ready for a mosquito hunt. But
tiger hunt! That’s impossible!’
The British officer’s secretary sent word
to the Maharaja through the dewan
that the durai himself did not have to
kill the tiger. The Maharaja could do
the actual killing. What was important
to the durai was a photograph of
himself holding the gun and standing
over the tiger’s carcass. But the
Maharaja would not agree even to this
proposal. If he relented now, what
would he do if other British officers
turned up for tiger hunts?
10. Because he prevented a British officer
from fulfilling his desire, the Maharaja
stood in danger of losing his kingdom
itself.
The Maharaja and the dewan held
deliberations over this issue. As a
result, a telegram was despatched
forthwith to a famous British company
of jewellers in Calcutta. ‘Send samples
of expensive diamond rings of
different designs.’
Some fifty rings arrived. The Maharaja
sent the whole lot to the British
officer’s good lady. The king and the
minister expected the duraisani to
choose one or two rings and send the
rest back. Within no time at all the
duraisani sent her reply: ‘Thank you
very much for your gifts.’
In two days a bill for three lakh of rupees
came from the British jewellers. The
Maharaja was happy that though he
had lost three lakh of rupees, he had
managed to retain his kingdom
11. The Maharaja’s tiger hunts continued to be highly successful. Within ten
years he was able to kill seventy tigers. And then, an unforeseen hurdle
brought his mission to a standstill. The tiger population became extinct
in the forests of Pratibandapuram. Who knows whether the tigers
practised birth control or committed harakiri? Or simply ran away from
the State because they desired to be shot by British hands alone?
One day the Maharaja sent for the dewan. ‘‘Dewan saheb, aren’t you
aware of the fact that thirty tigers still remain to be shot down by this
gun of mine?’’ he asked brandishing his gun.
Shuddering at the sight of the gun, the dewan cried out, ‘‘Your Majesty! I
am not a tiger!”
‘‘Which idiot would call you a tiger?’’
“No, and I’m not a gun!’’
“You are neither tiger nor gun. Dewan saheb, I summoned you here for a
different purpose. I have decided to get married.’’
The dewan began to babble even more. ‘‘Your Majesty, I have two wives
already. If I marry you ...’’
‘‘Don’t talk nonsense! Why should I marry you? What I want is a tiger...”
‘‘Your Majesty! Please think it over. Your ancestors were married to the
sword. If you like, marry the gun. A Tiger King is more than enough for
this state. It doesn’t need a Tiger Queen as well!’
12. The Maharaja gave a loud crack of
laughter. ‘‘I’m not thinking of
marrying either a tiger or a gun, but
a girl from the ranks of human
beings. First you may draw up
statistics of tiger populations in the
different native states. Next you may
investigate if there is a girl I can
marry in the royal family of a state
with a large tiger population.’
The dewan followed his orders. He
found the right girl from a state
which possessed a large number of
tigers.
Maharaja Jung Jung Bahadur killed five
or six tigers each time he visited his
father-in-law. In this manner, ninety-
nine tiger skins adorned the walls of
the reception hall in the
Pratibandapuram palace.
Part IV
13. Part V
The Maharaja’s anxiety reached a fever pitch when there
remained just one tiger to achieve his tally of a hundred. By
this time the tiger farms had run dry even in his father-in-Iaw’s
kingdom. It became impossible to locate tigers anywhere. Yet
only one more was needed. If he could kill just that one single
beast, the Maharaja would have no fears left. He could give up
tiger hunting altogether.
But he had to be extremely careful with that last tiger. What had
the late chief astrologer said? “Even after killing ninety-nine
tigers the Maharaja should beware of the hundredth...’’ True
enough. The tiger was a savage beast after all. One had to be
wary of it. But where was that hundredth tiger to be found? It
seemed easier to find tiger’s milk than a live tiger.
Thus the Maharaja was sunk in gloom. But soon came the happy
news which dispelled that gloom. In his own state sheep
began to disappear frequently from a hillside village.
It was first ascertained that this was not the work of Khader Mian
Saheb or Virasami Naicker, both famed for their ability to
swallow sheep whole. Surely, a tiger was at work. The villagers
ran to inform the Maharaja. The Maharaja announced a three-
year exemption from all taxes for that village and set out on
the hunt at once.
14. The tiger was not easily found. It seemed as
if it had wantonly hid itself in order to
flout the Maharaja’s will.
The Maharaja was equally determined. He
refused to leave the forest until the tiger
was found. As the days passed, the
Maharaja’s fury and obstinacy mounted
alarmingly. Many officers lost their jobs.
One day when his rage was at its height, the
Maharaja called the dewan and ordered
him to double the land tax forthwith.
‘‘The people will become discontented. Then
our state too will fall a prey to the Indian
National Congress.’
‘‘In that case you may resign from your post,’’
said the king.
The dewan went home convinced that if the
Maharaja did not find the tiger soon, the
results could be catastrophic. He felt life
returning to him only when he saw the
tiger which had been brought from the
People’s Park in Madras and kept hidden
in his house.
15. At midnight when the town slept in
peace, the dewan and his aged wife
dragged the tiger to the car and
shoved it into the seat. The dewan
himself drove the car straight to the
forest where the Maharaja was
hunting. When they reached the forest
the tiger launched its satyagraha and
refused to get out of the car. The
dewan was thoroughly exhausted in
his efforts to haul the beast out of the
car and push it down to the ground.
On the following day, the same old tiger
wandered into the Maharaja’s
presence and stood as if in humble
supplication, “Master, what do you
command of me?’’ It was with
boundless joy that the Maharaja took
careful aim at the beast. The tiger fell
in a crumpled heap.
‘‘I have killed the hundredth tiger. My
vow has been fulfilled,’’ the Maharaja
was overcome with elation.
“ I’ve killed
the 100th
Tiger’’
16. Ordering the tiger to be brought to the
capital in grand procession, the
Maharaja hastened away in his car.
After the Maharaja left, the hunters
went to take a closer look at the tiger.
The tiger looked back at them rolling
its eyes in bafflement. The men
realised that the tiger was not dead;
the bullet had missed it. It had
fainted from the shock of the bullet
whizzing past. The hunters wondered
what they should do. They decided
that the Maharaja must not come to
know that he had missed his target. If
he did, they could lose their jobs.
One of the hunters took aim from a
distance of one foot and shot the
tiger. This time he killed it without
missing his mark.
Then, as commanded by the king, the
dead tiger was taken in procession
through the town and buried. A tomb
was erected over it
17. A few days later the Maharaja’s son’s
third birthday was celebrated. Until
then the Maharaja had given his
entire mind over to tiger hunting. He
had had no time to spare for the
crown prince. But now the king
turned his attention to the child. He
wished to give him some special gift
on his birthday. He went to the
shopping centre in Pratibandapuram
and searched every shop, but
couldn’t find anything suitable.
Finally he spotted a wooden tiger in
a toyshop and decided it was the
perfect gift.
The wooden tiger cost only two annas
and a quarter. But the shopkeeper
knew that if he quoted such a low
price to the Maharaja, he would be
punished under the rules of the
Emergency. So, he said, ‘‘Your
Majesty, this is an extremely rare
example of craftsmanship. A bargain
at three hundred rupees!’’
18. ‘‘Very good. Let this be your
offering to the crown prince
on his birthday,’’ said the king
and took it away with him. On
that day father and son played
with that tiny little wooden
tiger. It had been carved by an
unskilled carpenter. Its surface
was rough; tiny slivers of wood
stood up like quills all over it.
One of those slivers pierced
the Maharaja’s right hand. He
pulled it out with his left hand
and continued to play with the
prince.
The next day, infection flared in
the Maharaja’s right hand. In
four days, it developed into a
suppurating sore which spread
all over the arm.
19. Three famous surgeons were
brought in from Madras.
After holding a consultation
they decided to operate.
The operation took place.
The three surgeons who
performed it came out of
the theatre and announced,
“The operation was
successful.
The Maharaja is dead.” In this
manner the hundredth tiger
took its final revenge upon
the Tiger King.
20. Read and Find out
1. Who is the Tiger King? Why does he get that name?
Ans.: Jilani Jung Jung Bahadur, the king of Pratibandapuram, is known as
the Tiger King. Ten days after his birth, a renowned astrologer prophesied
that his “death comes from the Tiger.” After he became the king of
Pratibandapuram and got to know of the prediction about his death, he
went on a tiger killing spree.
2. What did the royal infant grow up to be?
Ans.: The royal infant grew up to be the king of Pratibandapuram who was
obsessed with the idea of killing one hundred tigers. He wanted to do so
to disprove the prophecy which said that his death would come from the
hundredth tiger. This made him kill all tigers of Pratibandapuram.
3. What will the Maharaja do to find the required number of tigers to kill?
Ans.: To get the required number of tigers to kill, the Maharaja asked his
dewan to find a suitable girl for him to marry. A suitable girl for
matrimonial alliance would be one who would not only come from a
royal family but also belong to a state with a large tiger population.
21. 4. How will the Maharaja prepare himself for the hundredth tiger which was
supposed to decide his fate?
Ans.: The Maharaja wanted to be extremely careful while dealing with the
hundredth tiger which was supposed to be the reason for his death. On
encountering the hundredth one, he took a careful aim at the tiger and
shot it. When it fell in a crumpled heap, he was overcome with joy and
left the place hastily.
5. What will now happen to the astrologer? Do you think the prophecy was
indisputably disproved?
Ans.: Disproving his prophecy seems to be the sole reason for the kings
existence. Except for killing hundred tigers everything else takes a back-
seat for the king. The prophecy cannot be indisputably disproved as
the king was ultimately killed by a tiger though neither by a real one nor
by the hundredth one.
