Required custom course fields with Litmos content
Originally asked by a community member in the Litmos Community forum on 21 October 2026.
Anyone using Litmos-purchased content alongside custom course fields (that are required)?
We've been using Litmos content and recently introduced custom course fields which we've made mandatory. I'm wondering if making those fields required will interfere with new Litmos content being added to our library. Would love to hear from anyone who is or has used required custom fields while also using Litmos content and if you experienced any issues.
Thanks!

Hi Kayla,
When the Litmos course gets added to the client's instance, the custom field will be blank.
It wouldn't impact the client from receiving our new courses.
If you edit that particular course's settings, you will need to ensure you populate the mandatory custom field(s), otherwise the changes will not save.
Hope this helps 🙂
