Symptom/Error
When using Quick Create for Tasks (or other modules), you encounter an error message stating that certain fields are required (e.g., "Alumni fields are required"), even though those fields are not marked as required in Module Layouts and Fields. This forces users to open the full form instead of using Quick Create, defeating its purpose.
Cause
This behavior indicates a system validation issue where Quick Create is not respecting the same field requirements as the full form. This suggests either:
A bug in Quick Create validation logic
Hidden validation rules that aren't visible in the standard field configuration
Module configuration inconsistencies between Quick Create and full forms
Solution
Since this is a system-level validation issue that cannot be resolved through standard front-end configuration, follow these steps:
Verify field requirements: Double-check that the problematic fields are indeed not marked as required in Settings → CRM Settings → Module Layouts & Fields for the affected module.
Document the issue: Note which specific fields are triggering the error and in which module (e.g., Tasks, Alumni fields).
Contact Support: Open a support ticket with the following information:
Your instance URL
The affected module name (e.g., Tasks)
The specific fields causing validation errors
Confirmation that these fields are not marked as required in Module Layouts & Fields
Temporary Workaround
While waiting for the backend fix:
Use the Full Create View instead of Quick Create for the affected module
Train users to expect this temporary limitation
When to Contact Support
Contact Dazos Support immediately if:
Quick Create validation errors occur for fields not marked as required
The issue persists after verifying the field configuration
Multiple modules are affected by similar validation inconsistencies
⚠️ Note: This issue requires backend investigation as there is no front-end configuration that can resolve validation rule inconsistencies between Quick Create and full forms.
