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.

sources i.e. interviews, data obtained through questionnaires etc. on the site visit. Before
you do this, you will have to identify the exact trade that will be the focus of your
research. In addition to primary sources, you will also use secondary sources such as
books, magazines, journals etc. You may also use suitable Internet sources BUT you
must ensure that they are reliable sources of information.
In addition to the research report, you are required to prepare to present the content of
your report to a hypothetical audience. For this you will be required to use rhetorical
strategies based on what has been covered in class. You will also be evaluated on your
presentation skills which would have been taught last semester.
