Symptom
The Reason for Status field is configured as a mandatory field. However, when it is displayed in the entity details header (for example, Opportunity or Lead), the mandatory asterisk (*) is not shown next to the field label.
"Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental."
Environment
SAP Sales and Service Cloud Version 2
Reproducing the Issue
The issue can be observed in any business entity. Using Opportunities as an example:
- Open any Opportunity in Guided Selling.
- Click "Set Status" in the details header.
- Select a status that requires a Reason for Status.
- The "Reason for Status" field is displayed without a mandatory asterisk (*).
Resolution
This is expected behavior in the current product design.
Mandatory fields displayed in the details header do not show the asterisk (*) indicator. However, the mandatory indicator is displayed when the field is viewed in the expanded view.
