They are made required when the form is displayed to a visitor. There are two functions, two filters there. The set_required function will make each field required before the form is rendered. The check_required handles the validation upon submit. Let me know if you need any assistance implementing this. This code will be added to your functions.php file in your current theme. <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Where_Do_I_Put_This_Code%3F" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Where_Do_I_Put_This_Code%3F</a> Chris Hajer on "Ensure 'Required' box is ticked by default" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/ensure-required-box-is-ticked-by-default#post-35410 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 13:14:38 +0000 Chris Hajer 35410@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ I am checking with the developers to see if there is a filter you can use to make this happen. I'll post when I find out. Thanks for your patience.

All added fields should be 'required' as default.

Is that correct? That way the default for a form would be all fields required rather than no fields required.

Tried adding a 'checked="yes"' to the input type declaration but didn't seem to do it. Any ideas?
