Posting on behalf of a customer: I’d like for the ability to create required properties for products/line items when adding them to deal. ---

Hi Team - also posting this on behalf of a customer. Since we allow for the creation of custom product properties, it would be great if we could edit the required fields for a product creation, similar to this functionality ([Customize the create form for each object](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/crm-setup/set-up-fields-seen-when-manually-creating-records)). ---

This came up today - we have margin reports and not everyone in the team is 100% at adding in fields that aren’t required. This would help keep data accurate if nothing else. ---

Would love to have the ability to do this the same as with other objects ---

Essential for line item consistency + reporting. Would love to see this feature added. ---

Cor, yes please! Our sales team mostly add custom line items to deals (we don’t have a product catalogue, same as a lot of resellers and solution providers) -having a basic set of required properties would avoid our most common mistakes, and also help us get some sensible reporting, preferably where the “no value” bar isn’t the biggest one. ---

Not sure why we cant set product properties as mandatory when you create new products ? ---
