Set url input field as required

Function: Set URL Input Field as Required​

This action allows you to dynamically control whether a specific URL input field on your form or page must be filled out by the user. You can make it mandatory or optional, and even customize the message shown if it's left empty when required.

Input​

  • UI element (PART - URL): This is the specific URL input field on your page that you want to modify. You'll typically select this directly from your application's design interface.
  • Required (BOOLEAN): Choose True if the field must be filled out by the user, or False if it's optional. This setting is mandatory to specify.
  • Required message (STRING): (Optional) This is the custom message that will appear if the user leaves the required field empty. If you leave this blank, a default message like "This field is required" will be used.

Output​

This function does not produce any direct output. It modifies the behavior of the selected UI element within your application.
