I think that would have to be an additional validation on the Edit view.

If you search this post list for “validation” you’ll find a few solutions. The easiest ones are with simple vardefs changes, others involve injecting Javascript in to the view.

If you get it working, please share your solution here. Thanks.

You just need to copy below file

  1. modules\Accounts\AccountFormBase.php to custom\modules\Accounts\AccountFormBase.php
  2. modules\Accounts\Save.php to custom\modules\Accounts\Save.php

Next, comment below condition in AccountFormBase.php
=> Method name : handleSave()

        // if (empty($_POST['record']) && empty($_POST['dup_checked'])) {...} (Don't remove any other code from condition)

Next, change path of AccountFormBase.php in Save.php file

  require_once('modules/Accounts/AccountFormBase.php'); to require_once('custom/modules/Accounts/AccountFormBase.php');

Enjoy coding…
