ConditionalMandatoryHandler

Description

Before completing a task, the ConditionalMandatoryHandler checks if all mandatory fields that are dependent on other fields in the corresponding form are filled in.

If the mandatory fields are not filled completely, the handler prevents the task from completing. Subsequently, the user is informed to fill in the mandatory fields. The mandatory fields are specified in the field mandatoryFields.

Parameter name	Default value	Description	Valid examples
`condition`		The dependency is set here. E.g. condition="${variableA}"=="true"; checks if the variableA has been set. If yes, the variable in the `mandatoryFields` is mandatory.	`"${variableB}">="100"` `"${variableB}"!="${variableC}"` `"${variableB}"=="${variableA}"` `"(${count}+1)"=="150"` `"${varibleA}"=="${variableB}&&100>${count}"` `"${varibleA}"=="${variableB}\|\|100>${count}"`
`mandatoryFields`		Here all condition fields must be specified.	`ID_of_form_Field,ID_of_next_form_Field,...` (IMPORTANT: no blank space between "," and the ID!)

Example:

In this example, we have a task called ‘Financial approval’ in a part of Purchasing workflow. We configure the actionhandler under this node to make the comment area from the form mandatory if the decision based on the financial_approval parameter is 'No'.

If the decision is chosen as “no”, financial_approval_comment parameter from the form will be mandatory to fill it out.
