Is it possible to make the Partner Related List on an Opportunity required?
Using the Rollup Summary doesn't work on this because Partner is not an option with that, as the Partner list is technically related to the Account, and not the Opportunity.
Any requirement rule would not be able to trigger at the time of creation, because you cannot add a partner until after the record is created. This means that a requiremt would have to be applied based on an update validation.
If someone knows how to modify the Partner list so that I can use the Rollup Summary field on the Opportunity, that would be great.
It was difficult finding the few things that I did on this, so I dont think that this is a highly requested function. But, if anyone has any information on this, I would appreciate anything you could pass along.
Thanks,
Stuart

You would need to implement a custom validation using Apex. The problem maybe there is no accessible DML event of the partner related list. I'm curious though, will take a look.
