    You can customise the attribute and set it to 'Business Required' via settings\customisation

    If you only want it to be required based on logic, you can do it via javascript in the form's on-save, with something like: -

    if(crmForm.all.attributeToSet.DataValue==null)
{
 crmForm.all.attributeToSet.SetFocus();
 event.returnValue = false;
}

    It will stop both the "Save" and "Save and Close"

    You're not going to be able to stop closing via the X button. If your users were to exit through that, they would be prompted by IE to confirm that they want to lose their changes.

    The script above should help you with that. You'll need to replace the logic to cater for the conditions you need to meet, then just use event.returnValue = false; to block the Save.

    i do't understand why you are going block if the user is closing the form(not saving) with out proving the required fields?

    if you want to do it on save or save & close then follow the followings

    1st of all if the attributes are business required while creating, then while closing the window the system will take care and it will give alert.

    on the othe rhand, if you want to make it business required dynamically means with some conditions then use the followins code and after wards if the user is not providing and trying to save it will ask for the same to fill up.

    //Set field to not required
    crmForm.SetFieldReqLevel("attributeName", 0);

    // Set field to business required
    crmForm.SetFieldReqLevel("attributeName", 1);
