Hi Appavoo,

If you are doing customization in Demographics, History or Referrals forms, you can use Administration -> Layout -> Respective form -> make UOR field to be ‘required’ for the data fields you want to make it as mandatory. If you are customizing forms other than those mentioned above, you need to write validation code for that field.

Hi Appavoo,

You need to do the coding in file openemr/interface/patient_file/summary/demographics.php inorder to make group and planning fields mandatory.
