Field marked as Required is not required on form

emitterm 19 Feb, 2015
I created a form using the advanced editor with four required fields - Name, Organization, Email and Date/Time Selection. I set up all four fields as Required=Yes in the Validation tab and all of them are working and have the asterisk except for Email. I triple-checked that the Email element is set to Required=Yes, yet it is not showing on the form as required.

To troubleshoot I tried deleting the element entirely and creating it again and setting it to Required. Did not work.

I tried switching Required to No, Saving, then going back in and changing it back to Yes and saving. Did not work.

Form is located here - http://www.medicarewebwatch.com/index.php/event-registration. Any guidance is greatly appreciated!

Do you have the latest update ? I have just tested this and it works as expected!

You may also create a form copy, remove any personal details (emails..etc) and attach a backup here so I can test it!

Hi emitterm,

Looking at the form there is an 'email' validation set but not a 'required' one.

Thanks for the quick replies! I just downloaded Chronoforms yesterday, so I expect I have the latest version. I'm also attaching a screenshot of the email element setup screen. Required is set to Yes and Email is set to Yes.

I have also attached a copy of the form here for you to look at.

Thank you again!

Hi emitterm,

Under the "Code" tab, the "Form type" has been set to "Custom code" which means that any new changes in the designer section are ignored and will not affect the form output!

That was exactly it! I switched the Code tab off of Custom Code, copied the form and verified that Email was required, then went in and added my custom code and saved. Worked perfectly! Thank you so much!
