By saying, "Enable Values" where is that setting? Did you mean "Show Values" maybe? Is so, "Show Values" is checked too but it still doesn't work Sir! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/required-field-not-working#post-145291 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 19:10:14 +0000 Chris Hajer 145291@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The label can have text in it, but you need to leave the value empty for that first value to work as a placeholder and to fail validation if that default drop down choice is submitted. Be sure the "enable values" is checked for the field, and that the first drop down choice does not have a value set. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/required-field-not-working#post-145184 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 13:02:37 +0000 francky 145184@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>@wiredpoet<br /> I have the same problem here. It used to work but now it doesn't.</p> <p>@David Peralty<br /> When both are blank the "REQUIRED" thing works. But previously I could set Label as "- Select Purpose -" and leave Value blank and it used to work. Are you trying to say that we should keep on using with the empty LABEL? That's very sad news Brother! </p>
