Hide a mandatory field | OAF Page

If the business wants to hide a field in the seeded page, you can do it by personalizing the page and set Rendered property to false.
But this solution will not help you if the field is marked as mandatory by the seeded page.

The reasons are Mandatory Validations are usually done at the EO level. Hence even if you hide the mandatory field, the validation would still happen at the server. If the column has not null constraint in the table, it will throw a database error.


How to solve this ?

You can fix this by setting a default value for the mandatory field.

Extend the controller and set the value in the process Request() method. This is the safest way to default the value to the mandatory field.

After defaulting the mandatory variable, personalize the page and set the rendered property to false.

Hope it helps !!
