Configure Required Fields and Validation

Set a field as required

1. Edit the form.
2. Select the field.
3. Enable the Required setting where appropriate.
4. Add a short description if the user needs to know the expected format.
5. Save and preview the form.
6. Submit a test with the field empty and confirm the user receives a clear validation message.

Required fields with conditional logic

If a field is only shown on a particular path, test that path carefully. For example, a fault description may be required when “Fault found” is selected, but should not block submission when the field is hidden on the “Serviceable” path.

Avoid over-validation

Do not make optional information mandatory merely to fill a report. Use required validation for data needed to complete the workflow or meet a defined recordkeeping requirement.
