    Is it possible to stop a form from submitting when ENTER key is inadvertantly entered?

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to disable the enter button.

    However, you can require a field so that when that field is not filled the form won't submit.

    Or you can add a preview before submit widget so that your users can check what they inputted before they can submit the form.


    Hope this helps.

    Thank you.

    Is it possible that I can HIDE the REQUIRED field?  If so, I've tried that and was unsuccessful.  Kindly, advise.

    Unfortunately, if you hide a button you cannot set it to required.  We can also add a condition to hide your submit button.
