Sales Cloud: Sales Price and Quantity Fields Remain Required After Enabling Supply Default Opportunity Line Item Values

Why the Fields Still Appear Required

When the feature is enabled, Salesforce does not remove the requirement for values in the Sales Price and Quantity fields. These fields remain inherently required at the system level, meaning they must always contain values for the record to be saved.

What “Optional” Means in This Context

In this scenario, “optional” does not mean the fields no longer require values. Instead, it means:

• The fields can be removed from the page layout
• Salesforce can automatically populate them with default values
• Users are not required to manually enter values during record creation

Because of this behavior, the fields may still appear required if they are present on the layout, even though user input is no longer necessary when defaults are applied.
