Document Library Properties Dialog Box
Greetings Everyone,
Fairly new to SharePoint and need guidance. I am using SP Online (modern pages) and I set up a document library with a few required fields such as category, subject and document type. I would like SharePoint to prompt a user when uploading or drag&drop a document to update the required fields in order to complete the upload. When I attempted to test, the properties dialog box is not showing up at all. SharePoint uploads the document automatically. How do I go about changing the settings for the dialog box to appear and prompt the user to enter and complete the required fields??

- 5 years and this issue still exists? Old thread I know.
- Last I checked. Long as you come into the doc library fresh without messing with the details pane and upload a document it does infect pop up and show when uploading. But if you already manually opened and closed it and try uploading more it won’t pop out. Try a fresh browser instance and upload and see what happens.
ChrisWebbTech - unfortunately, I tried refreshing and opening a new browser instance and the same issue still persist. Thank you though for the response and assistance.

Beau Cameron is a dev guru. He might know this off the top of his head. Is there anyway that for example the spfx command bar extensions can be used on an upload event etc? Didn't know if there was anything out there for this to get around this problem of prompting for metadata when uploading documents.
Hi, as far as I know this is not possible in the new UI, and the "required" fields are now used as guidance.
So you can upload / create a document and you'll get the Required Info (yellow) in the column. the user will need to go edit those field with more clicks...
The document may also be checked out, and will not be checked back in as long as the fields are not filled.
