How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

#UoYTips: Welcome to the Library
1. Welcome new undergrads stepping into an academic library for the first time.
Welcome students and staff who have travelled a long way across the world to
be here. Welcome 3rd years who haven’t really been to the library much before
but need to turn your 2:2 into a 2:1 sharpish. Welcome postgrads seeking a
scholarly space to develop ideas. Welcome people of York and the surrounding
areas. Welcome visitors to the Borthwick, consulting the treasures in our
archives. Welcome academics, seeking a place to work without your office
phone ringing all the time. Welcome people who are cold and heard we have
blankets. Welcome new academic having a look to see if we already stock your
books. Welcome person who only ever studies on the very top floor of the
Morrell. Welcome people who like the Burton because it feels a bit more like a
traditional academic library. Welcome watcher of the CSI Miami boxset we
inexplicably have in our audiovisual collection. Welcome person who is only
really here for the baguettes in the library café. Welcome first member of your
family to go to University, you’ll be brilliant. Welcome people who will go on to
make the world better. Welcome to York everyone, and welcome to the Library.

Welcome to the
#UoYTips from your fellow
students, to get you started
finding what you need in the
library and online: Space,
Scholarship and Skills.
#UOYTIPS
3. There are two main campuses at York. The Library is located on
Campus West. It contains all the books you’ll need, as well as 1,200
study spaces, PC Classrooms, Laptop Loans, IT Support, and more.
4. You enter the building through
the Morrell Library – you’ll need
your student card to get in. The
Fairhurst and Burton Libraries are
either side.
5. On Campus East is the Library @
Piazza. This is quiet study space to
work in, but it does not contain any
books or journals.
6. In York City Centre is the King’s Manor Library. It does
contain some History of Art materials, but anything in
the Key Texts Collection is duplicated at the Morrell.

“Morrell isn't the only
place to study - Fairhurst
and Burton exist too!”
“Fairhurst - 1st year,
Morrell 2nd Year, 3rd
Floor Morrell/Burton 3rd
year“
“Fairhurst = pleasant noise,
Morrell = shhh... “
You'll find the Burton is the quietest, the Fairhurst
the most flexible, and the Morrell a mixture of the
two. Work wherever suits you best!
