Hello everyone,

I was wondering how did you solve the the problem with making a certain filed mandatory?

 

Precisely, we have created an absence type called Emergency day and when an employee requests this type of absence there is a field called Comment which is optional; is there any way to make the field Comment mandatory?

 

I know that at the moment that is not possible in Personio, but I was hoping maybe to get some ideas how did you encourage your employees to fill out this field or this type of field?

 

Thank you in advance.

Hello Marc,

 

Thank you for your valuable input, I wasn’t aware that this option was possible. :)
