Hi @skm - I know it will sound odd, but there isn’t a concept in a monday board for mandatory fields. You can do a couple of things though instead:
- You can set default values for columns
- You can use Automations to set column values based on other values or actions
- You can use a native monday․com form to require certain input. Any board can have unlimited forms and you can set any or all fields to be required.
Hope this helps!

Hi @skm,
In addition to what Deb is well describing there are some workarounds I use to define mandatory fields:
- Using the description field to mark them as mandatories.
- Using the conditional colouring you can highligth the fields based on some criterias. In the picture, the are highlighted if the field is empty.
- Using a formula with a counter is also a workaround to show that certain fields are missing. This is an advanced set up that depends on the type of columns.
Hope it helps.
