    Hi there,

    I would like to know from the SDK, how can I retrieve the required fields that user need to enter.

    I have tried AttributeRequiredLevel.ApplicationRequired or AttributeRequiredLevel.SystemRequired but it returns some of the internal fields that user no necessary to enter.

    Thanks

    I think you should be able to combine this with checking the ValidForCreate and/or ValidForUpdate attributes. The system fields that are SystemRequired, but don't require input (like createdon) will have ValidForCreate and ValidForUpdate = false

                        var requiredFields = from f in entityMetadata.EntityMetadata.Attributes
                                             where  f.RequiredLevel != null &&
                                                    (f.RequiredLevel.Value.Equals(AttributeRequiredLevel.ApplicationRequired)
                                                    || 
                                                    (f.RequiredLevel.Value.Equals(AttributeRequiredLevel.SystemRequired) &&
                                                    f.IsValidForCreate.HasValue && f.IsValidForCreate.Value == false &&
                                                    f.IsValidForUpdate.HasValue && f.IsValidForCreate.Value == false
