Make parameter value mandatory

Hello,

I was wondering if there's a way to make/remind the user to input a value for a parameter by a dialog box pop-up in a Sequence.

Thanks

There's no such animal. And while some parameter types are 'required' (like Date and Integer off the top of my head) others are optional and can be left empty. While you couldn't pop up any kind of dialogue box, you could have (for example) a custom routine that validates the parameters passed in and aborts the Sequence if it doesn't like what it sees.

Thanks Craig! That was useful and helped with my issue.

Providing an illegal value as default will have this effect. For example, if the default value of a Date job parameter is "", then this will prevent a job run request from being issued successfully.

Unfortunately, every value is legal for String parameter type.
