1. Re: Adobe Forms - setting the "required" directive
GKaiseril Sep 4, 2013 12:32 PM (in response to azscb/jec)Have you tried to compare the field's value property to the field's defaultValue property?
You could use this type of test for all fields except button and signature.

2. Re: Adobe Forms - setting the "required" directive
azscb/jec Sep 4, 2013 2:13 PM (in response to GKaiseril)The field value property...is that the export value area under the options tab? That area is blank as well as the check box by "Commit selected value immediately" I don't know how to translate a value to a request to "agree" or "will contact you" options that I have placed in the drop down.
Where would I find the default value property to compare? I can attach a picture of the box if you need me to. I appreciate any help you can provide me.

GKaiseril Sep 4, 2013 2:27 PM (in response to azscb/jec)The value of the field is the value of the field when accessed by JavaScript or other programming language.
Unless you are submitting to a scrlpted web page you will have to write custom JavaScript to test the form before emailing, printing, or saving.

azscb/jec Sep 4, 2013 2:34 PM (in response to GKaiseril)Wow, I know nothing about JavaScript. Is this something you would be able to walk me through or is it complicated enough that I should just consider it a lost cause?

MichaelN Sep 4, 2013 9:52 PM (in response to azscb/jec)You can alert the user if there are any empty fields in the form that are required.
There are several earlier posts about this on this forum. Just search for "Validation" or "Required Fields".
Here is one that might get you started:
