[Vtigercrm-developers] Help please.

"O" / "M" seems to mean Optional vs. Mandatory

(M means a required field, and gets the little red star)

I haven't investigated the V/E/I/C/T stuff too much, yet...when creating 
my own fields, I've just mimicked something existing that's similar to 
what I want...

peace,
Nokes
