Can a User Defined Date field (01-10) be made Mandatory?

Hello everyone,

I am using User Defined Date 01 (ED01) to track vacation entitlement dates. That date is being used in a custom table method to calculate vacation accruals in JDE E1 9.2.

Is there any way to make this User Defined Date field mandatory so our HR staff doesn't miss entering this information?

If this can be done, can someone please let me know how it is completed and/or direct me to the documentation specifying the steps for completion?

Thanks in advance for your help! It's appreciated.
