Mandatory field error on journal entry screen - acumatica

Question

Made the journal entry description field mandatory with below code:
using PX.Objects.CR;
using PX.Data.EP;
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Web;
using System.Linq;
using PX.Api;
using PX.Data;
using PX.Common;
using PX.Objects.Common;
using PX.Objects.CS;
using PX.Objects.CM;
using PX.Objects.CA;
using PX.Objects.FA;
using PX.Objects.GL.JournalEntryState;
using PX.Objects.GL.JournalEntryState.PartiallyEditable;
using PX.Objects.GL.Overrides.PostGraph;
using PX.Objects.GL.Reclassification.UI;
using PX.Objects.PM;
using PX.Objects.TX;
using PX.Objects;
using PX.Objects.GL;
namespace PX.Objects.GL
{
public class JournalEntry_Extension:PXGraphExtension<JournalEntry>
{
#region Event Handlers
//start my code
[PXDefault]
[PXCustomizeBaseAttribute(typeof(PXUIFieldAttribute), "Required", true)]
//end my code
[PXUIField(DisplayName = "Description", Visibility = PXUIVisibility.Visible)]
[PXDBString(255, IsUnicode = true)]
protected virtual void Batch_Description_CacheAttached(PXCache cache)
{
}
#endregion
}
}
however, I receive an error message when browsing records as below:
Error:
Error: An error occurred during processing of the field Description : Unable to cast object of type 'System.Boolean' to type 'System.String'..
Not sure what I'm doing wrong
Thanks

You could set the Required property to True using PXUIField Attribute. See sample below (Please notice that there are NO quotes on Required Property):
public class JournalEntry_Extension : PXGraphExtension<JournalEntry>
{
#region Event Handlers
[PXDefault]
[PXUIField(DisplayName = "Description", Visibility = PXUIVisibility.Visible, Required = true)]
[PXDBString(255, IsUnicode = true)]
protected virtual void Batch_Description_CacheAttached(PXCache cache)
{
}
#endregion
}
