Pre-poulated fields and the "required" option

  1. It seems to me, that it sets the "required" condition as met if a radio button is preselected or a choice field is pre-populated. Is that so ? If so, is it possible to set "required" to "not met" in case the value (for example a text like "insert your text here") is not altered by the user ?

    So for input fields, I also make sure to create a validation check against what I set as the default value so that the default isn't acceptable.

    For other field types, like radio buttons, this can be hard because sometimes, you will set a default, and for 99% of the people, that will be the correct response, and you wouldn't want to filter/validate against that pre-populated value or have them change it, only to change it back...
