    Hi NarSr,

    The notes are a separate entity that has a foreign key that refers to the record they are attached to. For this reason you can't create a note until the primary record has been saved. If you have a requiremet to prevent users from saving a record until a note has been added, I suggest you add a custom field for the notes and make it mandatory/required. You could always make plugin to copy this field to a notes entry on save.

    Hth,

    Hi,

    you can do it on Onsave event. write javascript to get notes record based on the id if count equal to zero then show alert message and prevent record to save.

    Note:- Make sure your script work on UPDATE Mode. if you are looking to do this in case of CREATE Mode as well then that is not possible.

    Hi NarSr,

    In my case, i have the same requirement on update the entity record. So i made a REST call to the notes entity to check any records available by passing the entity id as a parameter.

    As Scott mentioned, you could create a text area to capture the notes during new form save and use of plugin(Post create) to copy the content and attached it to notes entity.

    Hi Scott,

    Thanks for quick response. Yes, you are correct!. So creating custom filed is only the option left for me?
