How can I configure the workflow engine to do validation check before starting the workflow (e.g., check for mandatory fields, or check certain conditions are met before the user can approve)

the best way is to use our ynFieldValidator class in the form like this:

in Options:
use ".yn.lscript.tools.fieldValidator"

in Declare section:
public validator as ynFieldValidator

in QueryOpen:
---
set validator = new ynFieldValidator
validator.add("myfield", "some label for the field", "", "") ' this checks if a field is empty
validator.add("myotherfield", "some label for the other field", "myotherfield > 100", "Give a value > 100") ' this evals a domino formula against the field
---

and in querySave:
---
continue = validator.run()
---

So in short, the validation takes place in the form in the workflow application, not in the workflow engine.
