Required Fields

[VictoRamos]

In one of my apps some users are able to save the form without fill all the required fields with no apparent reason. The symbol of required ( * ) don't even show to this users. This is any kind of bug? Anyone knows what I can do to stop with this issue?

Notes: I already ensured that the fields are marked as Required and removed the access to this users to test if this behavior would continue.

I am not aware of any bugs related to the Required property. 

Do you have expressions inserted for the Required If property?  If so, could you show them?

Could the users be using a prior version of the app that did NOT have the Required property on that column yet or used a different expression?    You can check this in the log entries of their activity.  It shows which version of the app the activity is occurring on.

Hello Willow! Thanks for the response!

I tried what you said here but It didn't work. I have success with something that you said in other forum question. The require in my fields wasn't working because I had one formula in my Show If of the tab form that was returning false. I fixed It and works!

Hello. I’ve experienced some strange behavior in the past month. For example, creating Show If conditions that didn’t work despite being correctly written and structured.

The solution I found was the following:

1. Clear the cache.

2. Regenerate the table structure.

3. Remove all initial conditions from the field (Required, Show If, Valid If)—set everything to zero, then save.

4. Reconfigure the fields as needed, and it worked.

I’m not sure if this applies to your case, but I think you should give it a try. It might help.

Best regards.

Hello Gustavo!

Thanks for the response. I tried everything that you said but it didn't work for me.

But fortunately I have success with another way (I'll explain in the response to WillowMobileSys.
