Make item base price mandatory

Hello Experts,

I would like to make base price of an item (inventory part) mandatory via a script. Below is the UE script.

function setPriceMandatory()

{

nlapiGetLineItemField('price1','price_1_',1).setMandatory(true);

}

When saving item, it is returning "Please provide values for the following fields in the list: Amount" even though there is a base price set in it. Not sure which part of the script is incorrect or missing.

I identified the internal ids by looking at the xml data of the inventory item.

Ideally it should be a UE script or any script type that can work on csv import context since we usually import hundreds of items at a time.
